As the price of oil hovers at $70 a barrel, a Texas scientist claims
to have a surefire way to deflate the escalating cost of energy and
ease the political vise-grip that oil-producing nations hold on the
rest of the world.


Pure bull,
a part of the non-oil-owning nations switched a part
of their economy to be dependent on oil. The sillier
them built on oil hungry technologies while others
had a side glance on efficieny. Again others maximized
the required transports, by excessive distribution
of the economy.
