YES, Chocolate rocks... dark unadulterated with nuts but, maybe wrapped around a strawberry or dripped onto .. .OH wait.. sorry...

windvanes pump water
The lib-green US Congress in a moment of selfserving PCness forcing the use of a food to make ethanol drove the cost of maize and anything using maize up up up all over the world. Corn tortillas, a staple in Mexico, quadrupled in price.
The solution is simple.
And the US can solve it. The high price of oil is our fault. We have umpteen-gazillions barrels of oil but a Polit Party so paranoid about the color green that they'd rather complain about Saudis oil than do something clever like drill for more of our own. Complaining is easy, it scares people, makes 'em vote for you. "You feel my pain"
They slam Exxon who nets under 10% per gallon of gas/petrol but say nothing about the local/state/fed taxes that net 40% per gallon and instead distract the blindered masses with see I told you sos about futures speculators an dhow bad their neighbor is for driving an SUV and how good they'll feel if they take a 2 hour bus for a 20 minute car ride.
In the short term..... drill for more oil and increase gasoline production.. takes about 3-7 years.
Start going nuclear... takes 5- 10 years
Small nuclear. The safest nuclear power plants are in the holds of US Navy ships. For example it takes about 20 (if I remember correctly) to power the needs of San Diego County.. 3 million people.
NO NO MORE OIL! OIL BAD.. Oil Pollutes! The air is so dirty!!! Bullpucky. I remember when you could drive through Anaheim California and NOT see the Matterhorn ride from The 405 because the air was so thick. That's about a quarter mile boys and girlz.
Or like the twit ratsa haired beaded hippie-ette in her docmartins sucking a frothy Starbucks chemical monstrocity (no fat / artificial sweeteners) soliciting signatures to clean up Yosemite Valley because its so polluted...
Didn't this well meaning sheepling ever look at photos of Yosemite from the late 60's or ealy 70's when you couldn't see the top of Half Dome from the Valley floor?
I was there sister! Your parents were still peein' in their real diapers.
Read some history.
AHHHH the planet is warming!... has to be human caused... no matter that the planet has been warming since the end of the last ICE AGE.. and always has.. always! no matter that on Pinatubo put more CO2 in the air than all the cars and trucks in the US since cars burned liquid fuel. What next, ban volcanoes?
No oil leaks from oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico after Katrina, yet oil platforms and off shore drilling is dangerous.. no mater that globules of oil wash up on SoCalifornia beaches from natural seepage of off shore oil deposits and have for as long as anyone has paid attention... the local news still does stories blaming off shore drilling.. and the sheeple believe!
And you can't "SAVE" water.. if ya don't use it it flows out to sea... besides they won't let us build more reservoirs!
Can't put solar panales on my own roof
Can't put up a windturbine
Can't drill a heat exchange well
.. not without variances, permits and specialty contactors all of which cost more than the money saved installing those electrical generating/saving devices.. and whose fault is that? ....ask the Donkey
