  1. ... and could be $4 per gallon within five years by jangobongo · · Score: 1 · on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped


    Economist Paul Erdman feels that we will see gas prices hit $4 per gallon sometime in the next five years.

    When you consider that OPEC is currently pumping out as much or more oil than it ever has before in it's history, and growth in China is causing their demand for fossil fuels to grow exponentially every year, you can see that there is a crash coming in the future.

    As further evidence that this prediction is not as crazy as it first sounds, I submit this photo.

    Not every astronaut is a "hero" -- but it does take a lot of guts to do something that you know might kill you and willingly do it anyway

    You can say the same about anyone who drives a car. Not a day goes by without a fatal accident. Today, for example, a truck driver didn't notice that the cars in front started slowing down... In other places it may take some real bravery just to be in the street at night.

    All in all, we may even declare a typical construction site to be more dangerous than a Shuttle flight.
