Gas Prices Rise at the Pump for First Time in Three Months

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

The conflict in the Middle East has prompted a surge in gasoline prices across the US. Despite the rise, gas prices are still down $1.44 cents from this time last year, when a gallon of regular cost $3.00. So much of it depends on if you think the glass is half full…or half empty.

I’ve always been one to believe that the glass is half full. As long as gas prices stay low enough that everyday Americans can afford the cost to get to work and back, it’s a good thing.

AlternativeEnergyWiki.org – Alternative Energy Community

Monday, January 5th, 2009

A project that I’m currently working on is the Alternative Energy Wiki. This is awesome because it has the same business plan of Wikipedia, where anyone and everyone can contribute to the website creating a knowledge database on all things related to alternative energy.

Wikia page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.

Please visit the Alternative Energy Wiki and add your knowledge to the community.
