Planes, Trains and Automobiles!
PADDLE POWER
So the news on travel is not sounding too good. We are looking at the airlines cutting flights by 20% to the islands to save fuel and to get rid of gas guzzler planes. This is going to impact the tourist industry and it will ripple down through out the state. I have seen better fares flying to Paris than to the islands.
WIND POWER
Today oil prices made a major leap to record highs. Just when they were saying it was going to level out and maybe drop down. So all of a sudden our travel options are becoming slimmer and so are our wallets. It seems speculators are also driving oil prices up and with the devalued dollar it inflates oil prices.
Okay this is starting to piss me off. One good thing is we can take our frustration out at the polls in November. I hope that the debates with McCain and Obama will be talking about using our own natural resources. We have coal, oil in the ground and France is using Nuclear power. You think they would have been working on this problem 10 years ago. So I am looking for candidates who will get tough and resourceful and make some needed changes. Enough talk we need action and real change in this country. So my other option is I am going to look at the trains when I travel. A little slower, less driving and nice views.
