Ya got people freak'n out over de fact dat dey got ********* pistols! Yer gonna give'em nuclear waste!?

From Idaho?!!!

[donnie900]

Have ya ever seen those Chinese chicks?! Huh? They look 12 years old! And der ******** 30!

[donnie900]

Ya got de god damned result of negative publicity right ******** there! On the ******** headline! Ya don't think there's profit in terrorism?

HE COULDA BEEN'A MOVIESTAR!

[donnie900]

And nuclear power? Yer gonna give some dumb azzzed union worker the responsibility of nuclear waste? What if he's in a bad mood?

[donnie900]

GUESS WHAT!! Ya ain't gotta buy no fancy dancy car that costs 10x as much! Ya ain't gotta git no god damned 10 dollar light bulb. Ya ain't gotta turn off yer light switches THAT YOU PAY FOR!

Not only is hydrogen gas good for providing power for internal combustion engines, but for power facilities. Electrical power facilities. And out their stacks comes water vapor.

[donnie900]

AND, when you burn hydrogen gas in a internal combustion engine the same way you would gasoline, what comes out the tailpipe instead of CO2 and NOx, is water vapor.

Water vapor.

Hydrogen gas can be manufactured from a number of sources, the most likely sea water, for 1.75 a gallon.

[donnie900]

You can get it for free. There's an anerobic bacteria that makes it from methane. And you get methane from old oil wells. There's a bacteria that will convert an old empty oil well into methane gas.

And, you can get hydrogen from sea water.

donnie900: Hydrogen isn't a source of energy, like gasoline, even though both are fuels. Hydrogen isn't pumped out of the ground, it has to be manufactured in energy-intensive power plants. For example, you can burn gasoline to produce hydrogen. You can also use nuclear, coal, solar, wind power, wave power, etc. So, its an energy currency, but NOT a SOURCE of energy, whereas gasoline is both. By itself, it doesn't solve CO2 related issues, or foreign oil issues, etc. But it could be part of a solution involving alternative energy technologies and nuclear, that COULD solve those issues.

Bush allowed Ken Lay to hand pick the appointees at FERC and then told them to do nothing while Ken and the boys looted California and bankrupted utilities.

Bush is THE most corrupt so called "president" that this nation has ever had the misfortune to slither around th White House.

You know what kind of an opportunity this is? For the free market? I wonder. For a car with a internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen gas (H2) and have the same range as a car that burns gasoline, its gas tank would have to be 3,000 times bigger than the one that burns gas. So the solution, philosophically speaking, is quite simple! Find a way, chemically, to store hydrogen fuel in tightly packed molecules FULL OF IT! And that fits in a 12 gallon tank for that 300 mile range. Then transfer it over to the engine, introducing it to a catalyst that suddenly releases the hydrogen right there into the carberator. BUT WAIT! If we can find a chemical that stores hydrogen in this way, I wonder.. I WONDER! If we can make it so that it ISN'T combustable. So that it doesn't burn.. Hmmm.. You know what that would do to the cost of insurance? To the cost of lives lost? In fuel fires? In plane fires? I wonder.. If we can make a "pink gup" that doesn't burn, but that you put into an automobile as fuel, and transfer all the way to the carberator where it meets a catalyst.. Hmmmm.

And I wonder if it'd cost less that 5 buck a gallon..

[donnie900]

And city buses? Trains? ANYTHING state and federal owned. Thats the majority of the CO2 emissions right there! YOU GUYS!

"But no... duhh. We gotta tell everybody to buy 10 dollar lightbulbs."

There's a guy sit'n in a corner, suck'n his thumb. Going: "There's no way out! There's no way out!" In a 4 story mansion with a 3 car garage and a swimming pool.

[donnie900]

CO2 emissions are philosophically neutral. There's no.. "vast right wing lets pollute the environment conspiracy". There's only people paying for what they can afford! Just people..

Now, if you gotta better alternative? A cheaper one? I doubt they'll buy it. Saving money to them is a vast left wing conspiracy.

[donnie900]

Only a liberal could find nothing to do.. no way out.. in a free market capital system.

Here's what ya do: Invent an engine as cost effective, powerful, and economical as the internal combustion engine. And provide it a government sponsored boost to beat the status quo establishment of the 1920s invented internal combustion engine. AND STOP TAXING THE CONSUMER!

prinzowales, good to hear i'm not alone. we know it all comes down to money. the question is "how much money does any one person need?"i realize i'm out dated by todays standards,but i do my best to live within my means. big buisiness doesn't like people like me. they are preying on younger people who are stuck taking what they hand out. it truely is the demise of america.with CEO'S fleecing their companies, and the cost of living always beyond our grasp, they can payoff senators and the like and do whatever they want.i fear the only way for america to get back on track is for a great depression, only then when money is worth nothing, can we start over with a level playing field. i,m not some sort of defeatist, but i dont know what we can really do?the problem with people in power is they never want to lose it.how do we fix it?

[donnie900]

Mustangs and Camaros made in California are slower than Dodge Omnis made in Oklahoma.

lostcountry1--You are absolutely right as to the older vehicles. You could work on those. Today with the computers and everything, they are a mystery.

This kind of Big Auto Unionism is a vestige of 50 years ago, when the AFL-CIO sold unionism down the drain in a few industries--like steel and autos--where the capitalists had an oligopolic market and just added the wage increases and inefficiencies to the price of the car--what was essentially administered prices.

They built junk so people would have to replace it every few years--new styles and colours and marketing--a trend that Henry Ford tried to resist.

There was really no downside for the industrialists and the bankers behind them. They failed to modernize, put themselves at a competitive disadvantage and then used overseas capacity to undermine their own aging US capacity.

They did the same thing in the TV and electronics industry. The international bankers, the labour-fakirs and the rest made out like bandits.

[thisandthat1]

I wish Federal lawmakers would introduce a Bill requiring this guy get his nose fixed.

[processor2]

Right, liberals are really concerned about states' rights now?


Shheeeee-iiiiit

[donnie900]

hahahaha. EPA SchmeePA. Buncha regulatory bazzztards who just transfer the burden onto the consumer. What other weird legislative conscious laws are there? Especially with liberals who like to tell everybody THEIR conscience.

Good. I'm glad. Down with the EPA! Down with the EPA! Down with the EPA!
