Are we being milked by oil conglomerates?
May 13th, 2008Here’s an arithmetic puzzle for you, French and European consumers and drivers:
In 2000:
- 1 US Dollar was worth 1.2€
- The Oil barrel cost was 60 US Dollars i.e. 72 Euros
- the gas liter (roughly 1/4th of a gallon) was paid 1.00€
In early 2008:
- 1 US Dollar is worth 0.66 Euro
- the Oil Barrel costs 105 US Dollars i.e. 69.3 Euros
- the gas liter costs 1.50€
So, if the barrel is 5% less expensive, how come is the gas liter at the pump 50% more expensive?
So, I am asking you, where’s the arithmetic flaw, because as it is right now, we are being milked big time !!!
Now imagine that the barrel is like today at 126 US Dollars and the euro dollar parity goes back to ‘normal’ levels, what’s the price going to be ????

On my father’s discovery on CO2 absorption
May 9th, 2008
My father recently gave a conference last Monday at the French Academy of Sciences (he’s an academician, too) on his work on porous solids, whose application, among others, is to massively absorb carbon dioxyde (CO2).
Articles on his conference can be found on :
Articles are also to be published in Le Figaro and Le Monde.

May 6th, 2008May Day
May 1st, 2008
May Day in France, and in Europe, is a major holiday that honors all workers. All shops are closed, some bakeries/butchers/florists are open for a few hours in the morning for that last minute baguette and bouquet; transportation runs on holiday schedules; all business and trades have the day off; and of course no school.
We’re not lucky with the weather. So I guess I’ll spend some time with my family.
Finally, a loving thought to my late brother, who would have turned 42 yesterday and who left us already twenty years ago.
