The new plant fuel - SWEF!

May 19, 2012

You know how tough plants are? I've talked about this before. If you glance at a patch of concrete, you're likely to see a number of plants pushing themselves through the cracks or creating cracks where there are none. They continue to grow, no matter what. My friend Diane, has a plot of ground that she would like to clear out and plant some flowers in, but she can never get to that point. The weeds, as she calls them, keep springing back, growing thicker and taller than ever. They are moving in and taking over the lawn.

Plants are also very empathetic. I'm sure you've read the studies of how scientists hook up some common house plants to some sort of monitor, and then drop some lobsters into pots of boiling water. The monitors show that the plants are screaming in horror at the poor lobsters' fate.

I guess I could consider myself a plant, at least I am grown on a plant, and I've certainly known many plants and have had long and deep conversations with them and I can concur with the scientists' findings. Yes, plants are some of the most kindest, considerate and caring creatures on this earth.

But what about this week's report from the future? Well in the near future that I am visiting now, human scientists have figured out how to easily convert plant waste (I hate to call it that, let's call it excess greenery) into fuel! They use grass clippings, those overgrown weeds, dead tree branches, whatever -- any of that stuff that you pull out of the ground or trim around your house -- they have taken this plant matter and figured out a way to make it into fuel!

This has been an awesome development! There is no longer any need to strip mine mountains, drill into the ocean, import oil from around the world and move it around through pipelines or large sea vessels. The greenery is everywhere, everyone has a compost pile in their backyard and a source of energy. It's amazing, birds are bursting into song and caterpillars are smiling; there is much happiness.

What's different about this energy is that it also takes on the quality of the plants -- it is very strong willed and empathetic. So if your fuel tank is very low, and you are driving late at night, the plant fuel works even harder to pump out a few extra miles to make sure that you get to your destination safely. Drivers have reported being seemingly headed for an accident, colliding into another vehicle, when for no apparent reason their car speeds up to a super sonic speed and removes them from danger. This has happened so many times that the only conclusion to be made is that the natural empathy and strong will of the plants making up the fuel has influenced the cars to speed up this way.

This opinion is so strongly held, that the people who live in the near future call the new compound SWEF, for strong willed empathetic fuel. If only we could all be driven by SWEF is a common saying during this time.

best,
your pal,
