POPSSolution? $2 Gas in 30 Days if Congress Acts Tell them to do it! Legally limiting financial speculation (oil future's trading) by government regulation would send oil prices down to levels based upon physical supply and demand they claim. One only wonders if this would overcome the devalued dollar which also drives prices up. But they should do it immediately! The argument of these financial analysts says that the propaganda about needing increased supply is wrong and that OPEC and Ahmadinejad's analysis is correct that supply is not the problem.

POPSFilling up your car with ELECTRICITY!! When we can fill up our cars with electricity instead of gasoline - and generate electricity through wind and solar power - and transmit more electricity over the grid - we will have truly changed global dynamics. The amazing thing is that it may not be more than a few years away! Any additional help we can get from Washington will make a huge difference. I hope to see this be a central issue in the upcoming election.

POPSThe CEO Wants His Chair A move like this is important in any board's effort to remain independent of a company's senior management. The directors are the police. The separation of CEO and chairman roles eliminates questionable bias.

POPSU.S. Ship Shoots at Iranian, Oil Price Leaps The real reason behind gas at 3.69/gallon vs. 1.25/gallon when Bush entered office. It's not supply and demand, nor OPEC squeezing us. It's neocon war-mongering in the Middle East which makes the future's traders bid up the price of oil based upon "war fears" alone! Instead we hear nonsense on talk radio that "OPEC is mostly our enemies in the Middle East" (Saudis are best friends with Bush's and D.C., and U.A.E. is as well), that our limiting supply. Not true, not true at all. Iraq is producing below historical levels, not because of OPEC, but because the U.S. invaded it.

POPSBeacon, Facebook, privacy - Creepy I opted out of having Beacon on my Facebook page but I wonder now if it still tracks your information via your friends and contacts pages. Mister JT twittered about this and then sent me this link. It really is frightening how much companies can track you online and how they are using it. I read a someone's Vox post awhile back where they commented that they could not wait to see all the music and reading suggestions that would pop up one day...well, that day is now. The freaky thing is that it supposedly still tracks you even if you are logged off and non-users..even though they are denying it.
