163 BC: Jews Claim to Set New Record for Energy Efficiency 

No Longer Have to Depend on Persians for Eternal Oil? It's a Miracle! 

"The Jews of Jerusalem claimed a new record for energy efficiency today as their temple's eternal light burned for eight days despite having only one day's supply of oil.

Does this mean an answer to the Eternal Oil Crisis?

As the eternal flame is based on olive oil, this could be a challenge to OPEC--the Olive Petroleum Exporting Countries.

However, doubts were generated as word of the oil miracle was contained within an epistle stating that the Jews defeated the Greeks in a battle over the Temple of Jerusalem. 

A spokesman for pro-roadway lobbying group Alpha Alpha Alpha put it this way. "Right! And the guys who teach abacus can kick the Spartan's asses! And I'm King Antiochus the Fourth!"

So, how far back does the fight for energy efficiency go?  Clearly this gives us an interesting historical perspective.  Of course, the key, back then and now, is go achieve energy independence.  We owe it to ourselves, our children and their children, our economy and the jobs it holds to bring imported oil dollars back home and put them to better use while eliminating as many emissions as possible.

On another note, here's the update on the radio side:  Info on the show that ran live yesterday and the link to listen now 24.7.  Great show.  Thanks to my co-host, Seth Handy, and our guest:
