It would have been a good investment had we had the money and had it not all been consumed by now! I really enjoyed your article and am trying to remember the name of a small company that makes some sort of specialized hose or widget that all wells need. I like your thinking. Oil prices will continue to squeeze family and business budgets while the ancillary antics of Congress increase pressure on the dollar and its precarious place in global finance. My first impulse remains stockpiling diesel and things that run on it (cars, trucks, tractors, generators, heaters...) Solving the fuel problem, like charity, begins at home. Unfortunately, few have the luxury of places to put several thousand-gallon tanks. Sheer W&G thinking--take care of ourselves through foresight and thrift, and those with kindly impulses can reflect that the more of us are prepared, the less strain there will be on the system eventually.

These folks have roughly the same restraint and foresight as those who purchased houses that they couldn’t afford. Because everyone that owns an SUV or Truck wouldn't or couldn't possible need one right? Idiot.
