- Hi Jeff,
-
-
- Numerous times over the years, when Jim
Marrs is on the program and you are talking about how the ingenious German
people got by during WW II without petrol, you have mentioned the steam-powered
cars they had that ran on wood chips. This morning Hemmings Blog posted
a neat story about an Australian inventor who built a steam-powered '63
Ford Falcon (right-hand drive) back in the early '70s.
-
- Not only is the article interesting, but the video is
amazing. Here's the link...

- Towards the end of the video the voice over talks about
how it was that after the first Arab oil embargo, when the price of crude
went back down to $15 a barrel (YIKES!), there was zero interest in steam
cars. The video even mentioned "wood chips..." Oh, well.
-
- I'm sure that you, too, have concluded that about 99%
of humanity's problems have solutions that are already known. It's just
that either the timing isn't quite right or powerful interests have other
plans.
-
- As George Westinghouse said to Nicola Tesla, "No
one is going to milk my cow for free!"
-
- It goes on and on. Take care.
