![]() "Roger (K8RI)" wrote in message ... In the long run we need to become independent from foreign oil as well as reducing emissions. Currently all ways of doing this cost more than that expensive foreign oil. Quite true. The "foreign oil" dilemma is much more easily solved, but both issues are political. As to emissions, contrast engines from the 1960's with those of today. For example, a 1969 Mustang with a 351ci V-8 for about 12 MPG and delivered 325 HP - today, a Nissan 3.5L for the 350-Z delivers 325HP, from 216ci engine, gets 24 MPG, and does it with a twentieth the emissions, mostly CO2. Contrast that with the 351ci that spewed all sorts of noxious stuff out the tail pipe. So do we spend $$trillions reducing emissions, while the rest of the world continues on its merry way? You probably all heard that China now exceeds the US as the biggest polluter, in terms of CO2 but all the other far more noxious gases as well. You've all probably seen the charts that US fuel use per $ of GNP is about a fourth of what it was in the 1980's. I rather suspect that once CO2 emission are "cured", such as a fuel cell vehicle, there'll be something else for the hystericals to fall back on. It's their karma. |

vehicle, there'll be something else for the hystericals to fall back on. Do you think the CO2 emissions would have been cured had there been no hystericals? Jose -- You can choose whom to befriend, but you cannot choose whom to love. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

hystericals? The hystericals were not necessary and could have been a detriment. Then why were the CO2 emissions cured? It certainly costs money, and companies don't spend money for nothing.

you don't think hysterical arguement actually help convince people and are the PROPER way to have discussions on issues. Alas, I was misread. Hysterical arguments don't convince anybody, but rational arguments are derided as "hysterical" by those who oppose them. I should have quoted the word.

Do you think the CO2 emissions would have been cured had there been no hystericals? Jose The case against CO2 has not been proven -- nor has the case for manmade global warming. The hystericals have latched onto it to further their own political ends -- namely control of others' lives and lifestyles. |
