My son-in-law take a look at what Indiana might be like without oil.

An Often-Overlooked Alternative Transportation: Quads. Why do people always laugh and expect that I must also carry a big boom box on my shoulder? The fact is that outdoor wheels and skate technologies   more...have come a long way - so, if you are like me and all your childhood rollerskating practice caused you to almost kill yourself by not knowing how to stop on roller blades... have comfort that the slightly spongy outdoor wheels made now make it MUCH easier to deal with bumpy terrain and all your instincts that tell you your stopper is in the front... well, they are. I can't tell you how awesome my quads are outside. In this case, I was making my way though a community garage sale easliy.. sailing past people looking at me like... wtf? are you seriously on roller skates? Argh! Yes. Yes I am. And they rock. Do you have a problem with that. Whatever. If my work were closer (15 miles is a haul on skates), you know I'd skate it. If my city were more ped friendly, I think everyone could use them locally to get around.. well, ok, not everyone, but hey.  less

Dessum9 talks to an urban cyclist about biking the city. Now that the oil shock has pushed gas prices over $6 a gal, what's changed in the biking scene?

Time to come out of the shadows. For what it's worth, this is what I am thinking about.

without ROMANIA...

Experience with the WTO over the last ten years has shown clearly that Thailand is being adversely affected. For example, we have witnessed the destruction of small-scale farmers; increasingly violent   more...struggles over land, forest and water that have resulted in the loss of large numbers of innocent lives; the plight of poor people who have been pressed into migrating to Bangkok, only to be faced with forced displacement at the hands of capital and the state; the privatization of state-owned enterprises, resulting in skyrocketing prices for essential public services; and the inadequacy of labor protection laws, which have led to widespread abuses of labor, including problems relating to labor subcontracting, workers' health and safety issues, employment in the informal sector, and the failure to adjust the minimum wage to a level sufficient to meet people's basic needs.  less

Here's a bit of an interview with Yul Brown about his inventions and goals. Kind of hard to understand in parts, but you'll get the idea. There was promise here.

Here's another story about Brown's Gas. This has to be from like the 80's. Yul Brown is now dead... he died broke and his project never took off. There are some theories that he was "shut down"   more...by the gov't. While I don't want to assume the gov't is conspiring to keep alternative fuels from developing, I guess I don't want to be naive either. I guess I could believe either way. If he was this close 20 years ago... then why don't we have a working HHO car? Water in/Water out... It seems a lot of people have been close. Is it really hard to imagine that the gov't could be $ influenced $ by those worried about oil becoming obsolete?  less

Imagine a world without Romania. (not so good)
Just check the movie and make an idea of what some of the romanians have done.
Oh, yeah... Romanian history dates back from 300 (B.C.) from the Geto-Dacians   more...and Romans. :D  less

Sounds kinda sucky to me, honestly.
