General David Petraeus would be a rock star in the business world today. He is a man that knows how to turn the worst situation into a success relatively quickly. Gen. Petraeus took over command of the Iraq war at the start of 2007, and led what was called “the surge” of troops into Iraq. Most fully expected the General and his strategy to fail miserably. Most were wrong. A “surge” is needed in business to get our economic woes turned around.

Author ArchiveThis article could have been called “Drive Through Fast Food Lane,” or “Grab Lunch and Fill ‘er Up at the Drive Through.” I liked all three. The fact is, there is a huge, as yet untapped resource out there that could drastically reduce emissions, and slash dependence on oil. This fuel source can be found all over the country at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and many other fast food chains. Oh yeah, it burns clean, and is more efficient that fossil fuel. Clean and green, it’s a no brainer, Folks. In America today the average price of gasoline has skyrocketed past $4.00 per gallon with no end in sight. Oil prices have doubled since the end of 2007 with $200 per barrel conceivable within months. Still, no one seems to have a solution. The government is inept, and only seems willing to add to the problem rather than solve it. If the Congress had any concern for you or me they would lift all Federal gas taxes to help us out. That would cut out about 15% of the price per gallon of gas. If they had any concern for us they would allow us to drill for oil within the United States. They would allow more refineries to be built. They would approve clean, cheap, nuclear power. |
