hello,
Great posts here on this wonderful topic,
I love the topic of future times and hard times, diesel is now $4.15/ California, not from lack of surplus, but due to several things, 1, environmentalist keep us from building more production faciliities, so the demand is pressed, but the Investing in Petroleum futures has jumped the prices way up. If you havent heard of Permaculture, i would suggest you get the book and start preparing. It aint gonna get better for a long time, Since our great government has decided to bail out financial companies, printing more fiat money, and devalue stocks oh its only just begun.
Get your seeds, plan on living off your land, supply your family meds and necessarys cause they will be REALLY Expensive in teh near future.
I had to pass on the extra fuel costs of our organic recycling business SOILS TO GROW, to the customers and they told us that they wont be using our services as MUCH as normal, that they were cutting down, scaling back.
I have run bio diesel, its ok. takes alot of oil, to work, i used to run it in two dumptrucks, three loaders, and four other grinders and screens, One bad batch, and i spent thousands of dollars repairing machinery. And then Who do you go after? to recoupe the costs? NO ONE... WHY kill the poor little guy trying to make a buck with a alternative fuel.
If they would allow the sulfur to remain in the diesel fuel, then our forests might be stronger, in California its been 20 yrs of reduced air polution, acid rain, now our forests have a severe decline of SULFUR, (main ingredient of ACID RAIN)... so the balance in our forests is outta whack, and the bugs and dieseases are getting stronger as our forests decline from lack of sulfur. OH isnt man smart....
Plus the low sulfur reduces the amount of lubercation in the diesel which equates to more wear and tear on a diesel engine. replace one in the dump trucks and your @20,000 poorer.
then we pass the costs on.... to you....
so, grow your own, economize like crazy and dont advertise that your prepared for the crunch, some folks dont have, and when they NEED they might just wanna TAKE what you have... keep the powder dry and the water clean.
