High fuel prices are crippling the airline industry and chopping into household budgets, but no sector of the economy has been hit harder than the trucking industry, executives and analysts say. How hard is the trucking industry being hit? Last week the national diesel fuel price average, as tracked by the U.S. Department of Energy, was $4.497, up 16 cents from a week earlier and $1.15 or 34 percent higher than the Jan. 1 price The number of trucking companies filing for bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2008 was up 1/5th from the first quarter of 2007 at almost one thousand companies This catastrophe for the truckers is hurting every other aspect of the American economy and beyond. Seventy percent of the goods that Americans consume are trafficked from manufacturers to outlets to consumers by trucks. And this means that the price of all of these items is going to rise beyond just the rise from high inflation and many have already seen huge jumps in prices 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. Another place where the impact is felt is highway fatalities. Truckers do have strict regulations on how many hours they can drive and how many hours they have to rest in between. Already, under more normal economic conditions, these regulations were routinely stretched. But now there are less trucking companies and less truckers carrying the same load so something’s gotta give somewhere. And also the profit margin for the truckers is being cut into by the cost of diesel which is rising faster than the government surcharges can compensate them for. 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 havoc caused by the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve policies over the last eight years is going to be with us for decades. If we want to maintain anything close to the lifestyle that we have enjoyed in previous years 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. WATER4GAS is providing information for a nominal fee which people can use at home to create a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on. The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the system burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size the system is able to use much more of it. By doing this you can reasonably expect to lower your fuel consumption by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those molecules "musta" been pretty darn huge in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can lower your fuel consumption. It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner. This package of info has been purchased by over 10s of thousands of car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
