Well, I see the last bastion is busy falling. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/11/03/arcticoil-051103.html
The US senate is expected to approve a budget bill that contains a provision that allows drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is making my 'tree hugger' tendencies rise to the top and I want to go out in a rage and protest.
But, those protest days are long gone, so instead, I started plotting revenge. And came up with just the best revenge. If we can now really get serious about alternatives, by the time these oil fields come into production, no-one will want to buy and these folks would have wasted billions of dollars. Good eh!
So, has anyone brought hybrid vehicles, or electrical vehicles into the DR? Does anyone have experience with these?
Does anyone know of a safe way to retrofit vehicles to run on propane, instead of gasoline. I see more and more motoconchos with a little gasoline tank behind the driver?
Is there funding available for biodiesel projects? Are there any biodiesel experts in the DR? MrMike told of one of his sub-contractors that makes his own biodiesel, and has a still and all... Mike, can you undertake a meeting with this fellow and give us the real information? Grassroots to me seem the way to go.
Any other ideas about real alternatives - The Dominican people are creative in this way.. Anything that anyone else may be doing as an alternative?
