Your posts are things of beauty. Truth is often like that, I find. Well, maybe it's a gloomy beauty in this case. Truth is often like that too.

All cars built after 2015 should be powered by...Posted By Joe Bergeron |
Ethanol is a loser all right, but I think agro corporations like ADM might have had a say in that choice, rather than it being chosen because it was of of maximum benefit to the public.
But hmm, ozone holes were "discredited", huh? I don't think so. I think they were reversed by the ban on chlorofluorocarbon production and use, which wasn't an evil liberal ploy to sabotage your sacred CF-dependent lifestyle.

To give the devil his due, it's always been possible for Americans to buy higher mileage vehicles if they wanted to. Most of them haven't wanted to. Thus manufacturers were all too happy to sell them the high-profit land barges.

Well, at least antimatter wasn't one of the choices listed. Who knows how many votes that would have gotten?

Who said it wouldn't work? Nobody. The man said that the energy you need to put in to produce the hydrogen greatly exceeds what you get out of it. I realize that's a subtle distinction to some, but it's an important one. That's why your hydrogen car isn't really powered by hydrogen. It's ultimately powered by whatever energy source you use to produce the hydrogen.

Yes, be sure to blame all our energy woes on Al Gore. After all, he has obviously been making American energy policy for many years now.

Oh, nonsense. He's just another bogeyman right-wingers trot out when their policies and arguments fail.

You have to choose one for your backyard to help in the energy crisisPosted By Joe Bergeron |
Still, a nuclear plant would be a poor backyard neighbor for an amateur astronomer. They tend to be lit up like car dealerships. The cooling towers emit large plumes of vapor. And I imagine they might be crawling with security men who might view your nocturnal activities with suspicion or even intolerance.

Oh...to live in a culture sane enough to actually build houses suited to their environment...not one that builds the same flimsy shacks everywhere, in all climates, houses so poor at providing shelter that they are uninhabitable without massive energy inputs. Some corner of creation must contain a paradise where people are smart enough to do that.
