The best health tips you allways get from your drug dealer.

"Forcing cofe-shops to offer brownies that contain lesser pot makes these brownies more likely to cause tooth decay. Our survey prooves that less pot in brownies increases the tooth decay by the factor onethousand."

The real fact is Alcohol from corn will make a better cleaner fuel,and the by product is even better feed for animals since the starch is removed.Cars originally where made to run on alcohol and it would create millions of jobs and no more wars for oil.Problem solved now take action and create the solution.Farms service stations,localize it and all will be better.

I feel proud that our men are fighting to defend our energy empire from the evil people in these third worlds countries who dont want to sell us their oil.

Now the iraqis are free to elect a government that we approve of and are free to sell their oil to us and not others.

And we will protect them from electing a free government that will build an economy that will help the ordinary people.

We have to be proud of our men who sacrifice themselves for the good of the impoverished corporate elite.

Everything in this video makes perfect sense. The government already has too much say in daily life. I certainly don't need a corrupt and inefficient entity dictating what I drive. If you want to save gas, buy a 50 MPG 40 BHP tin can, but don't force me to. ANWR and off-shore drilling are the answer. In the mean time, if the alternatives improve ON THEIR OWN with out money being stolen from me against my will to fund them, great.

I get what you mean~

Maybe it's time for America auto makers to change their mind~

[greyflcn]

Thats the point though. I pick both.

We're losing the auto market because we aren't building efficient cars.

Our cars are no more fuel efficient than they were 30 years ago.

When the Japanese offer better fuel economy, and lower maintanence, we buy that instead.

Furthermore, look at Europe.

Half of all vehicles there are diesels.

Diesels offer a unique role of being cheaper, and simply being better all around.

[Nolansxt]

So which one do you choose,the auto market or the energy efficiency~~Maybe it is a difficult question:)

[paradoxb3]

i do agree with you, however i was more making a parody of what this guy is saying. he's bashing every attempt that science is making at an alternative. this is basically a "we're doomed" speech, and nothing more.

electric is an option but still not AS cheap if the vehicle were built to be comparable in size, power, and efficiency as a large gasoline vehicle.

==since there is no clean, safe, and cheap "wonder-fuel" to replace gas== That depends what you consider a fuel. If Electricity is a Fuel, then that certainly fits the bill on being clean, safe, and cheap. greyfalcon. net/ plugins4 greyfalcon. net/ volt greyfalcon. net/ plugins greyfalcon. net/ quickcharge3.png greyfalcon. net/ greenenergy.png And even greyfalcon. net/ plugins3 greyfalcon. net/ fossilenergy.png
