Are we going green?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I was in my car listening to a talk radio station and there was an interview going on with a scientist regarding climate change and the Copenhagen climate summit. Let me start off by saying that I believe in protecting the environment. I believe that we should do everything we can not to harm it by arbitrarily polluting our planet. That being said, I still believe in facts and common sense. Therefore I was stunned by what I heard this particular scientist say.  Being in the limousine business and watching my colleagues spend millions on green technology and green limousines, I wanted to pay close attention to this conversation.

The host had asked this scientist how he would explain the fact that Mars, Venus, and Uranus were all experiencing the exact same warming trends as the earth was. The scientist actually said they weren’t related at all. The host asked if it is possible that the warming trends experienced by the four planets could be related to the sun and the scientist replied no not necessarily. The host pushed further by asking if it could be possible, and the scientist said absolutely not.

Absolutely not! How can that be? With absolute certainty, how can he say that the planetary warming trend is not related to the sun and that it cannot possibly be related to the sun? I was aghast. Mainly due to the fact that there is increasing evidence that climate change scientist have been fabricating and hiding climate information for the past three decades in order to keep the climate change debate going. Add to that the fact that there is mounting evidence that the photographs and scientific reports on the crisis of the icecaps melting were fabricated. I think there can be no absolutes in this debate.

Global warming may be a problem, though I am doubtful for many reasons. However, a scientist saying irrefutably that the sun is absolutely not a factor in global or planetary warming is inane. I may not have a PHD or a doctorate, but common sense says that the sun may be the problem. I am sure I could conduct enough scientific studies to prove it one way or another, before I would just dismiss it as a possibility.

I only wrote this article, because as I hear more and more about the global warming problem and watch my colleagues in the limousine industry spend hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions going green, I have the thought, that if this somewhat disingenuous scientist is one of the people leading the debate, this may be nothing more than an exercise in futility. I am not saying its all bunk, but with statements like the one cited above, it very well could be.

Talk about success

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Talk about being well worth it.  The long days and endless nights certainly were while we were at the PhoCusWright conference.  Did I say endless, I should have said sleepless.  What a time it was at the convention this week.  We launched our product, made many new friends, started several new relationships, went to a vast array of cocktail parties and dinner parties and shook about a thousand hands.  In the end we met with some of the heaviest hitters in the travel industry with unbelievable results.

Before we left for the conference there was a bit of trepidation and sweaty palms.  Now that it is nearly over it is apparent that it has been an unbelievable experience and a huge success.  During our presentation bloggers and travel critic as well as the press were just tweeting away talking about the need for our product and the utile nature of our UI.  The convenience of our product brought oh’s and ahs from many travel sources that until now could never monetize the space we fill.

So was our journey a success?  Absolutely!  Will our technology stand the test of time?  Indications are very good and hopes are high.  I for one believe that we have hit a home run and the ball is headed toward the wall and out of the park.  Come back soon and I will tell you what the plan for the New Year is going to shape up to look like.   It is a great time in history and a better time here at CheapLimoRates.com.

Why did we choose Cheaplimorates.com name?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Why did we choose CheapLimoRates.com name? Was it to personify our industry as a taxi cab service? No. In fact, our reasons were exactly the opposite. In order to give our consumers an incentive to search our site and give our Limousine Partners the greatest exposure, we searched thousands of travel search keywords that get consumers to click on a site. The word Cheap is a word that gets people to take a look. There are thousands of consumers looking for great deals in the sagging economy and by listing your prices, right along with your competitors you are setting your prices based on your unused vehicles, your service levels and your scheduling needs. Because we focus on the unscheduled vehicle inventory and services you have sitting in the garage, you may be able to give the consumer a great deal. Our site is very market based, so what is a good deal in one area of the country, may not be in another. You set your rates, we do not price control. Your price your inventory based on what your local market can bear. If you are looking for goods and services and you see a website that says “prestigious limousines .com” and one that says CheapLimoRates.com which one are you going to click on first? That is why we chose our name.
