The trouble is, these alternative fuels are expensive. Natural gas costs have fallen by 70% since 2005. Fracking has made the difference. New supplies have lowered natural gas prices. This means that [...]

Why does the government then sell the stolen raisins to foreigners at below-market prices? Why has this been going on ever since 1948? Why haven’t you heard it through the grapevine? [...]
