                It is not as if we in Mzanzi have not thought of other alternatives like wind power; but each time the environmentalists cry foul e.g. they say the wind turbines will scare off the birds, and fracking will pollute the underground water in the Karoo which in any case is as dry as a bone on the surface. Where does the underground water they are talking about come from in this arid area?

                Who knows; maybe one day our cars will run on this gas they spout daily. By the way I have forgotten that what you call gasoline over there in the USA, is called petrol here. Sorry, I am becoming verbose now. Cheers.

                Many ideas felt frivious often come a reality.  I never thought I would see people driving the car the Urkle drove on Family Matters but it is seem a a gas saver today.

                Fracking is quite the big issue here in America.
