What do Michael Phelps and solar power have in common? (And no – the answer isn’t that solar was the secret behind that high-tech suit he raced to 8 gold medals.) Check out the latest post on the Oil & Gas Investor‘s fascinating Oil Rules blog for the answer from our very own Claire.

If you’re not already reading Oil Rules, check it out - bloggess Lindsay Goodier brings you the latest oil industry news (and let’s face it – who doesn’t need to be up to speed on energy?) in a witty and engaging way – tackling John McCain copying the French, Paris Hilton’s energy policy – and everything in between.

And in case you missed it – here’s a link to Oil Rules’ tour through the Wiess Energy Hall with Claire. Wondering why gas is $4 a gallon? We can’t promise your wallet will be wincing any less, but a visit to this hall is sure to clear things up – and hopefully inspire some ideas about alternatives for the future.
