How much of an upheaval is being caused to truckers and trucking companies by the rapid increase in fuel costs?

The national average price for diesel rose sixteen cents last week from the previous week and has gone up by 1/3rd just since the start of the year

Compared to last year there are 21% more trucking companies that are filing for bankruptcy, mainly they are being driven out of business by the cost of fuel which has made their business model untenable.

This catastrophe for the truckers is hurting every other aspect of the American economy and beyond. 70% of the goods that Americans consume are moved about by trucks. As a consequence, then, of the increase in costs for the trucking industry, just about everything else will have an increase in price beyond what it would be just accounting for inflation. The price of food is one area where the price increase has already started and it is linked in part to the increase in the cost of diesel.

The higher cost of trucking has also made our highways less safe. There are regulations that truckers are supposed to follow as to how long a duration they can be out on the road driving and how long that they have to rest in between shifts. Under ordinary circumstances these regulations get stretched and truckers are on coffee intravenous and work extended hours driving on our roads and highways. What is happening now, though, is that less financially stable trucking companies are going bankrupt which means that more load is having to be handled by fewer companies and less truckers. Truckers are also willing to work longer hours because they are making less profit per hour. So we have more jackknifed trucks out there on the road and more death and destruction of the lives of America's truckers and unfortunate souls who happened to be on the road at the time that the driver started to doze and lost control. This is in addition to the lost lives due to biodiesel worldwide because of the shift from growing crops for food to growing crops for energy. Those number in the 10s of millions dieing from starvation and is a hushed up holocaust happening right now.

The devastation visited upon our economy by the Bush administration's policies and wars as well as the Federal Reserve's tinkering is going to be with us for decades. If we desire to live anything close to the lifestyle that the last number of generations have enjoyed in this country going into the future then we need to get creative on the grassroots level with real solutions disseminated in the fastest way possible, which right now is the internet.
One such solution is Water4Gas.
is sharing information for a nominal fee which people can use at home to put together a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. So the engine is able to use a lot more of it.
With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to reduce your gas consumption by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn big in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can reduce your gas consumption.
It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.
