My Posts This: Topic Forum | something was lost in translation about oil
...put it this way, unless everything you buy is moved by electric trains or sailboats, then everything you buy has oil 'in' it....oil is either factored into the cost of producing what you want or shipping what you want.
"oil is oil", who doesnt get that means "gas" "diesel" "natural gas"....etc etc.
Unless you're a total idiot, you might see that whoever has the control over energy, pretty much gets to do whatever they feel like.....which includes squashing unprofitable energy rivals like renewable and independent energy through buying a few votes.
And when the alternatives become popular, these same players just slide over to the new thing....thats how things work.
Anyways 200 flights is a realistic number for a well maintained lipo...besides not everyone does 3d!
And if you go and beat the **** out of your nitro, it not only consumes a lot of fuel but will also need parts about that often....been there done that.
Lets look at this the way a 'business man' would....say a guy who makes a living from rc helicopters, we'll call him 'Bubba' because everyone thinks he's a fool....
"Cletus we want 200 flights out of this bastard...what's it gonna cost?"
"Hmmm Bubba, the way I figure is we can call ---- and get one of them 35C batteries for 200.00, pay the 25.00 shipping......or we could spend 250.00 for 10 gallons if its only 25.00 today and they deliver it without all the ORMD 'yous a terrorist' bull**** they gave us the last time."
Lets inject some more reality into a future that is so easy to predict you do not need any crystal ball to predict with about 80% accuracy....
so you pay 20-30 dollars today for nitro...yay! what about tomorrow?
in 5-7 years it is about as certain as the sun rising in the west and setting in the east that the Federal Reserve aka 'govt' will inject more fake money into the money supply and not one in a million people will care or understand what that does, but they will laugh at the people who do and protect the ****s who rob them blind through making your money worth less.
This money doesnt fall over the country from helicopters evenly...it goes to the first at the trough, then they spend it in fashionable investments with the expectation of high return.
in 2000 it was technology, in 2005 it was housing, in 2010 it will be energy
How the **** do I know that?....just listen to whatever is coming out of the collective's mouths.
Each time this 'injection' of new money occurs, more money is now chasing the same amount of goods and services until production catches up and everyone thinks they're 'rich'.....sure more stuff is made, more jobs are created, but then reality comes along and corrects for the boom after the new money reaches the last in line....you and me.
So what does the government do instead of stepping aside and allowing risk takers to fail like men in a free society?....every time this happens they give the junkies more heroine....bailouts.
When you are paying 50 dollars per gallon for nitro and 6 dollars a gallon for pump gas and MORE FOR EVERYTHING you want, need, or gotta have....remember this nonsense some guy in a helicopter forum told you.
It will prevent you from eating cat food in your retirement atleast.
And if you still think this is bull****, then lets do some simpler math....what's the difference between shipping a 2 lb item and an 80 lb item?
duh.....lipos will be cheaper and better in the future, thats where the money will flow....this isnt hope, this is the future unless an asteroid hits the planet or we get invaded by space monsters! |
does not generate as much power as methanol and burns "dirtier" than methanol.
