this is a great great video..let me try this at home..thanks for sharing

ICE= Highly efficient fuel, low efficient engines

eMotor= Highly efficient motors, low battery efficiency

C02 causes temperatures to drop, not to rise.

[TheDaikashido]

CO2 is not a problem, its what plants breathe. Benzene is a carcinogen from car exhaust. Ethanol and hydrogen do not produce it. Hydrogen can be stored as a solid and is therefore safer than gas. I could go outside and scoop a bucket of seawater and make it for free with my solar panel. I could grow ethanol. Household AC current can be read wirelessly with a meter. That causes cancer, DC solar doesn't. You pay for 25 watts to light a cfl but it can be done with 2 watts and charge a battery too

[TheDaikashido]

if you think that you probably don't understand how america works. None of these things like energy, food or health are real problems. You didn't vote for oil, you didn't vote to spend a billion on a slight modification to a bomber wing, and you didn't vote to suppress ancient knowledge and technology, but you paid for them.

[mphello]

That makes no sense.

I have no money to buy an e-car, either. Yet, I still vote each year. My vote gets counted.

[mphello]

Obviously, you are not capable of comprehending the difference between watching a lecture

versus DOING HOMEWORK PROBLEMS. The ONLY way you can LEARN anything in ANY field,

genetics, math, engineering - is by DOING the HOMEWORK problems. Obviously, in the physical sciences, this means doing physical lab work, too. But, in the non-physical sciences, like math, there is STILL a clear distinction between DOING versus just listening.

[TheDaikashido]

the finacial system is made up too so what's the difference? People like to think a diploma is the only thing that qualifies a person on something, but in the age of the internet you can watch any college lecture for free, and information is harder to hide. There's also that thing called doing it yourself. Anyway, my vote isn't counted because I have no money to pay taxes with and even if I wanted to buy an electric car I couldn't

[mphello]

The fact that you completely dismiss proven science, yet you accept made-up fantasy crap off lunatic conspiracy theorists on the internet shows you are not qualified to make comments on anything of serious nature, and you should not be in a position of power nor have your vote counted.

And your conspiracy theorists get paid by the same dollars in a Ponzi scheme bankster-controlled criminal fraud.

That's the one thing CTs get right.

Max Keiser talks fact: peak oil, AGW.

[mphello]

Oh dear. You don't even accept the OBSERVATION / FACT that oil is FINITE on this planet.

Even the AGW-deniers get this fact right.

Even the oil producers get this fact right.

No - humans do NOT act deterministically "peak oil implies humans would make cars more efficient".

Wrong. Humans can be incredibly stupid, constantly following the path of least resistance and maintaining status quo in spite of knowing the danger that lies ahead as a result of their stupidity.
