Just a note;
Please be careful in believing whatever the greenie weenies have to
say. Half of their statistics are lies and taken out of context to make
you believe what they want. Many of these guys have hidden agendas to
get laws passed for some other cause. Global warming is nonexistent but
made to be the cataclysmic end of the world. If they were really
interested in clean air, they would be pursuing hydrogen as a fuel
source. It only costs about $500 to convert a car to burn hydrogen.
There is an inexhaustible supply of it and the by-products are water /
water vapor. When gas gets to the $2.50 to $3.00 range, on a mass
production scale, hydrogen becomes economically feasible. If that
transition starts, the middle east can all go to hell because the world
will have no need for anything they have. Do you think the people in
oil really want to pursue the best "clean air" solution?
If the only holdup now is the economics of it, then why don't the
greenies go after it now? It's clearly the energy of the future.
Pursue it now and find a way to produce it cheaper. Then they'll make a
believer out of me that they are really interested in clean air, etc.
Until that happens, I think it's some socialist that wants to take away
my freedoms and limit my ability to produce goods and services.
