Rising gasoline prices could lead to cleaner air

What’s that saying about it’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good? Well, maybe with the price per gallon of gas high and going higher, people will be less likely to buy as much gas as they used to. Less gas in the tank means fewer miles to travel. And fewer miles traveled means less pollutants in the air.

And the hybrids and electric cars weren’t going to take gas anyway.

What is happening to our country?

The two questions we should be asking ourselves: What was I doing while the country that I loved became fascist? What was I doing while the planet that I call home perished from global warming caused by consuming hydrocarbons?

Convert Red Hill facility for hydroelectric power

After the Red Hill fuel facility is decommissioned, perhaps the infrastructure could be used as the base for pumped hydroelectric power storage and generation.

Since water is the storage medium, it should be safe above the aquifer.
