news The price of av gas

Is up over 70 percent SINCE Harry and Nancy and the Democrats
took
control of Congress

Who's fault?
George?
Nancy and Harry??
Both??

Fuel prices are up across the globe, I think you need to lower
demand
or increase supply, nothing short of one of those will fix the
problem.




Or come up with an alternative fuel..

or form of locomotion!


Controlled fusion, antigravity, zero point energy, naqueda (a-la
Stargate)


Nice , but they're all hundreds of years in the future...


Exactly my point! The Eco-Nazis are particularly fond of touting all
of
those pie-in-the-sky ideas in order to prevent implementing useful
solutions.


Bull****. These are things that might pay off eventualy, but there are a
lot of fuel solutions that are very close to hand and are very do-able
and the "eco-nazis" as you call them are helping propel these
technoligies.

Currently, the only viable solutions are nuclear electric power, more
oil and gas, coal-to-hydrocarbon conversions. The technology is there
--
it becomes economic at the current price for oil.

There are a lot of other things, too. Algae fuels look particularly
interesting, for instance, and there are other technoligies that are
still in their infancy that will more than likely pay off in the not too
distant future. For flight, it's unlikely that chemical storage of
energy will be supplanted, but why poo poo anyone looking at
alternatives? Dragging stuff out of the ground is crap at the end of the
day, even if you don't believe in the global warming scenario, it's just
plain crazy to keep doing it and ignoring other technologies that might
pay off.
Imagine trying to tell someone from, say, 1800, that you were goiing to
make a machine out of a gun barrel to crank a windmill to drag a
contraption made out of sticks and rags through the air.. And then fly
it across oceans.

A bit of imagintation, please.
