I hope my next load of fuel comes from Norway

Most of the crude oil the refiners use to create gasoline and diesel comes from places that are explicitly unfriendly to the US, (and according to the following article the Bush Administration is concerned that some of those sources are bankrolling huge amounts of capital for an eventual destabilizing financial assualt on the US economy. It's not too late for Russia or China to win the final battle in the Cold War). However, also acording to the following article there is a source for crude oil that takes a very enlightened approach to using its oil wealth. The citizens of this country earn a per capita income (not "family income", but per capita) of $65,509 per year, spend a maximum of $200 per yar for health care, are in better physical shape and enjoy a longer life expectancy than most Americans. I hope that the next time I buy fuel, the crude oil comes from Norway. (Probably won't, though). http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...=1&cs et=true Norway is far more advanced in most ways than the United States. May be... but I don't think I would be bothering to post here if I lived there. Regular gas is $8.98/gal there. I don't know what I would do as a hobby.... but, I'm pretty sure boating would be out of reach. I'd probably own a bigger boat in Venezuela..... $.12/gal. That's if Hugo lets you "own" a boat. |
