At first glance one sees gas prices in the range of $4 per gallon across the country and just winces and tries to think of happier things but the impact upon lives of the people affected has widespread ramifications that go beyond the obvious.

Start by thinking of how many traffic jams are being caused across the nation because some poor fellow couldn't afford gas and hoped there was enough in their engine to get them home while the gauge showed empty

How many additional cars will be left stranded by the roadside, burnt out and gutted because the driver could not keep up with the price of insurance and gasoline?

How does one quantify or measure the number of ruined days, accidents, arguments brought on by skyrocketing gas prices?

Once a caring person starts having an effect on outside of their friends and family they realize that their actions have ripples.

I had a somewhat popular ebook on traffic shortcuts in Los Angeles. It sold a few copies. Too few! lol

Sometimes I would get the idea? what if someone I sent down some road somewhere on some search for the holy shortcut wound up in good or bad circumstances because of my little ebook! .

So extrapolate that into the society at large being affected by something as widespread and dark as the price of gasoline skyrocketing across the nation

Life is a series of causes affecting other causes in a domino fashion while each piece has an option to fall, not fall, where to fall, in other words each piece in the dominoes game of life has self determinism but there is still this causes affecting causes factor which can take us down roads that hold surprises. That is the plus and the minus.

So, again, what really is the price to society of the rapidly rising gas prices?

And how do we, as individuals, as pieces in the dominoes game of life that still manage to have self determinism take the right actions so as to stop being ripped off by large corporations and their deceitful money games?

There are those who reject that they have self determinism or that their self determinism is sufficient to make any great changes in their fate.

But such people might as well be dead and they are just waiting for someone to come along with a shovel.

Just as there are cures for cancer to be found if one does some research, just as there solutions to global warming, the environmental disaster of New Orleans and the health problems of the 911 first responders if these problems would just be confronted and the solutions applied, a solution exists also to free us from slavery to the gas pump.

Did you know you can lower the gas consumption of an automobile with water? A hybrid engine using both gas and water can be installed quite easily. A fully hydrogen based system can be implemented with just a bit of knowledge, resourcefulness and effort.

It is worth it in terms of a higher balance in your bank account, a cleaner environment, a smoother operating vehicle and in so many unforeseen ways that could have rewarding ramifications that it really is wise to make the small investment of time and caring to get your vehicle running on a hydrogen system.
