funny thing is we had to buy some new semi's and dump trucks in the last 3 years and all this emission stuff they add we are using more fuel. They are more sluggish and not as powerful so it just costs you all around. My husband had to get another one and Tuesday went and leased one this time, a 2011 International and he says it is awful, hesitates and is questioning whether it can do the job he got it for.
I looked at the U.S. Energy Information statistics again and I couldn't help but notice how they totally omitted "Military" from the graphs and calculations. That is probably the largest piece of the pie, however it's equally absorbed across the board into categories like Electrical Power, Industry and Transportation. So one government agency is cleaning up the tracks of another government agency, and the government hides things from us? When haven't they? LOL Gas up for the war effort!
Thanks for the info! Privatejordy is correct, we are just paying big bucks to this lords and private owned companies that make billion annually!! And the govt just loves it because they get millions of just that 1 company!!
It would be interesting to know how much goes for mass transit, broken down to ground/air, and how much goes for military, agriculture, the general populous, industry, heating, power generation.
The American people just use and waste and take for granted and we fight wars to secure oil fields and only touch on alternative solutions, and we punch more holes, and as the cars become more and more efficient, the fuel prices stay the same or climb, even when barrel prices go down.. Hmmmm???
@privatejordy Check the description. I have placed link that answers your questions. I think I want to start a side project called, "Ask a Geographer" ;)
@Negativions Hmmm Interesting. 1% Electrical Power, with the main source being Coal, and of course 27% for Transportation, with no breakdown of air, bus, train, vehicular unfortunately. It's "Us" though.. regardless, LOL
So, if we had to choose a humanoid the most representative of our nation's carbon footprint, it would have to be Sasquatch or, the more popular name, Bigfoot! Never doubted it for a minute. When I heard how much Petrol cost in Great Britain I naturally assumed those people stay at home a lot! I'll put the top down and just go for a drive, with no destination. Plastic mold injection and spray on polythingys and stuff us lots of oil too, don't they? What uses the MOST oil, military, people?
@privatejordy Driving in the United Kingdom--especially in England--is a joke. They're taxed so much there. I even think they've recently implemented a tax for driving during peak hours. But anyway when I spent some time there, it seemed that the only vehicles there were taxis and buses and that most of the time they used the Underground or connecting train stations. They were always packed.
@lavenderbadger Yes, I gathered that. My friend is filthy rich, but still practical and aware, and I was bitching about prices after Katrina when we were doing a film in Baton Rouge and he laughed his ass off at me and told me how much a liter of petrol was back home and I couldn't believe it! I couldn't live there! I have several vehicles and love driving.
