Oil and Gas Prices Falling.


As Featured On Ezine Articles


In the last several weeks we have seen the oil and gas prices falling, and falling rather significantly. Does this change or need to conserve, or to find alternative sources of energy? No, the only thing that has changed is our current prices. The same countries that would use oil as an economical weapon against us are still there. My personal belief is that part of the reason for the decline in the price of oil and the price of gas is from conservation, and the second part is the oil producers, heard all the campaign speeches on oil Independence coming from our politicians. If the United States became energy independent, the oil producing countries would lose a great deal of revenue, about 700 billion a year, and would lose the only weapon that they could use against us, that has a low degree of probability that we would use military force against them.
We have all heard of OPEC, and recently Russia has been attempting to start a cartel of their own. These groups of Oil Producing Nations, set the price, and the amount of oil that they will sell.They would use this to their advantage both economically and politically. That is why I believe that they have orchestrated the reduction in the price of oil, to take away the will of the people to become energy independent, give our politicians a way out and keep our domestic supply from increasing, as the cost of bring the oil to market would increase and the resale value would decrease, it would not be profitable for the United States to drill and bring new oil into our supply system. In a capitalist market the profitability is the reason company's expend money, to make more money.

In my opinion, we need to continue our efforts to increase OUR domestic oil supply, invest in the technology for alternative fuels, nuclear, Geo thermal, wind and wave alternatives, Hydrogen and to conserve. All of these we have too a small degree at this time, but are still in the process of making them economical. New vehicles that operate on on a hydrogen fuel cell are now being produced. The vehicles are small, the fuel cell is limited, and that limits the distance that can be traveled before refueling. The hydrogen gas pumps are also severally restricted at this time, but in time these minor set backs will be overcome. It can be done in several years if the country and individuals have the will and vision to make it happen. With that said, look at the flex fuel vehicles we have now. How many flex-fuel pumps are there? In the area that I live in, central coast in California, I don't know of any gas stations that offer the flex fuel.
That is why hydrogen and oxygen additive systems, or better known as Water4Gas, is still an important and economical way for us to continue to conserve energy and reduce our fuel costs even more.
If you want to see the current state of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, go to http://ww.hydrogencarsnow.com there are a lot of different types of vehicles and a pretty good article that discusses the hydrogen fueled vehicles and infrastructure surrounding it.

Facts:Run your car on water and gas.

I know, it sounds crazy, but let’s look at the science behind the concept. I am not a chemist, but I do know, from high school chemistry, that water’s chemical symbol is H2O. H2O stand for 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Everyone has heated water and seen the steam it produces. The heating process breaks down the bond that holds the hydrogen, and oxygen to gather, simple. Both hydrogen and oxygen are flammable materials and will burn. If hydrogen and oxygen are atomized, or reduced to a fine mist, their combustionable properties are actually increased.
I am also not a mechanic, hammer, wrenches, screwdrivers and I do not get along. I will smash my thumb, scrape my knuckles, or stab myself, or a combination of all three. This system is so easy to make, and install even I can do it, without serious injury to myself.
The point is this, if you could use a mixture of water and gas to run your car or truck, instead of just gas, you would save money! That was the same idea behind using ethanol, but the process is expensive, and is not environmentally friendly. Not only was the process expensive, but the use of corn began affecting the economy. Cost of corn for human consumption increased, and the cost for corn that was used as feed for domesticated animals was also increased.
If this is so good, why hasn't the Government approved of it? In one word, “MONEY”. The cost of a gallon of gas is about 50% higher due to Governmental taxation. Reduction in the amount of gas used equals a reduction in YOUR MONEY, going into the Government’s coffers. The use of ethanol also increased the amount of money going into the government coffers, due to the higher cost of corn and corn based products.
Needless to say, the big oil and gasoline companies do not want to see a reduction in the amount of gas used as this will cut into their bloated profits.
If every vehicle in the United States were to convert to a Water and Gas hybrid, and received an average increase of 20% in gas mileage, the Government, oil companies and gasoline production companies stand to lose billions of dollars.
How about the new hydrogen cars that are being produced? That’s great, but the new ones due to come out will be restricted by the size of the hydrogen tanks, and other technical considerations, which I believe will be fixed in the next five to ten years. That brings up two points, the initial cost of these vehicles range from $23,000.00 to $32,000.00 and the restrictions they will impose on the new owners. Let’s look at the true cost, currently if you want a new vehicle you can buy one between $14,000.00 and $18,000.00 a difference of at least $5,000.00. How many gallons of gas will you have to save to offset that amount? However, if you are like me I love my 1998 ford Ranger, I don’t want to buy a new car. With the cost of buying the information and the manuals to install the system, might come to a total of $200.00, and I could have it up and running in no time, saving money immediately. I currently spend $50.00 to $65.00 a week or about $228.00 a month. In 2 months the water+gas system would pay for itself and from that point forward I would be saving money, and reducing dangerous greenhouse gas emissions. Saving money and helping the environment, without impacting my way of life, what a deal, a win, win, for us, and a lose, lose, lose, for the Government, Oil companies and the gasoline manufactures.
If you want to save money without changing your life style, and help reduce greenhouse gases, go to Water4Gas. Take a look at it for yourself, a 2 month money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose and $$$ to save.

Water 4 Gas!
