Petrol prices rise, despite demand falling

Also new battery technology using silver and silicone are far better than any battery tech till now. They can hold more power and last longer. These new silver batteries have zero discharge rate, if you charge them 100% they will still be 100% charged months or years later. Never has there been a battery as good as these.
Blimey, do you think we should, say, for example, buy some silver as an investment?

Unless as Germany has recently found. The sun isn't shining enough. Which means importing electricity!
Ultimately it may require more sparing use of resources.0 -
Personally i have found petrol prices to be very stable over the last few months.0

What we are running out of is "cheap" easily accessible oil not oil/hydrocarbons per se.Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -
... and it's still cheaper for most people, on most journeys, to use a car than public transport.0

less than 20 pence a liter in the Middle East

Every car roof, and there was me thinking that there was hardly any silver left!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

That's closer to the truth than you can possibly imagine Joe. Possibly imagine. Ever. Even in a really, really vivid but wacky dream.
I know cos I've watched a few videos on youtube and the message is clear. We are running out of silver. Forever. We won't make any more you know. And we use more than we mine anyway.
You see it's quite complicated but most of the silver that exists in the world doesn't actually exist, it's just paper. But with a shiny surface and it has fooled lots of people. It doesn't even exist! Except the stuff we use, that does exist but there's not enough of it to use anyway. And the rest..... !!!!!!.... it's gone. Well not gone as it didn't exist. But it's not there anyway.
The other problem is the price of goldium. Everyone knows the long term average ratio quotient between the two is 54.3 to 1 but at the moment it's only 5.3 to x. That is manipulation and sooner or later it has to end. When it does KingNews will become BBC1 and we will all feast on the eyes of the lizards who think their paymasters are the rulers of the world.
I've got a mate called Don Frisbeen and he says it's all been a big computer glitch. He's now offering some kind of blue pill and I'll wake up in some strange place but I'll be free. I'm not sure what do on this yet but I think I'll go for it. He's been right on his other stuff. (He has predicted some stuff about time and generally gets it right twice a day... if he can call that right then he's worth listening to).
I think the youtube stuff is a reliable source as the video has lots of nice graphics and the bloke says it in a shouty voice to prove it beyond doubt.
My mum has a silver salt and pepper pot thingy and I've told her to hold onto it as she'll soon be able to swap it for something else soon. Something bigger. Don says something as big as a house. Not sure what though. He says I'll have to wait and see.
Anyway it's sure to be exciting and happening very soon. Like Don says it's 110% sure to happen before Christmas, and when people make cast iron predictions like that you just have to sit up and take notice. And I notice a lot. I'm not taken in by the mainstream media. It's manipulated by them anyway. You have to see through stuff and I'm good at that. They won't be getting my £20/month no way Jose.
I hope you listen to what I've said Joe. It may seem far fetched but that's because you've become "sheeple". That's bad and you don't want to be one. So don't be one, be like me. It's happening soon Joe, very soon.0 -
I've seen/heard enough to convince me. I'm just putting on my anorak and I'm going down to the shop and getting me some Silver.
If you can't trust some random anonymous bloke on an internet forum then who can you trust? Anyway, there is a huge body of evidence on you tube and various other internet sites that cannot be ignored. Silver is running out and quick. Get yourself down to the shops and get some before they run out. Everyone is buying except the mugs who believe those fat cats in Washington.

The problem is that silver is getting very rare.

And last month it was paper batteries...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16288107
And the month before it was lithium with holes in...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15735478
And in 2010 the battery was no longer even needed with the advent of ultracapacitors...
http://www.nrel.gov/vehiclesandfuels/energystorage/ultracapacitors.html
New uber batteries are announced all the time with the promise "in the lab now, in your home within x years".
I never see them though, and 99% of everything is still using lithium, nimh, alkaline. *
The only development in battery technology that has had an impact on everybody is the EU banning nickel cadmium.
*(apart from 1 torch product which uses ultracapacitors, does not do what the manufacturers claim, and is crap)0
