In 2000, an organized protest by lorry drivers, farmers and fishermen, who were being squeezed out of existence by the high price of fuel in the U.K., blocked entrances to numerous oil refineries in England, and brought the country to an unexpected standstill. "Fuel" is the memoir of two Americans who got stranded in Cornwall, the southwesternmost "toe" of Britain during the fuel protests of 2000. What was planned as a glorious vacation in the "English Riviera" turned into a journey of inconvenient lessons, as the entire country came to a screeching halt, due to lack of petrol. http://www.podtopia.net/fuelbook/ en-us 2006 by Kay Stoner Fri, 20 Oct 2006 19:53:07 EDT Fri, 20 Oct 2006 19:53:07 EDT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss kaystoner@yahoo.com http://www.podtopia.net/fuelbook/ Not that I don't want to discuss alternative energy concerns, but...
