Katrina is a bitch! Yes, the hurricane, or tropical storm, or whatever it is. This storm sure did cause a lot of damage. I haven't heard any exact numbers for casualties, but I did hear of some. CNN also reported some (yes more) bad news about gasoline prices. Reportedly, 92% of Gulf Coast oil producers had to stop all production. Using some numbers from CNN, and some handy math work, (alright so it's almost all CNN's work), I figured that some 3 billion barrels, or maybe gallons, i can't remember of oil, were prevented from being pumped do to Katrina. Either way, that means gas prices are going up, once again. Fill 'em up while you still can bitches! I'm wondering when the auto manufacturers will get the idea that a hybrid won't cut it. You can't halt research because one thing looks like a pretty solution. This shit, (fossil fuels), won't last forever! ! ! What about a source of natural energy? A hopped up form of solar energy? Using gravity? Might as well, it's here wether or not we do. Just some thoughts for your thinker.
