I dare say D2 is less expensive now than the D2 I bought in a suburb of NO, LA 1 week pre Katrina  2.85 and thought that was way cheap. As a snap shot MY new car sales are down to 10 M from 16.5 M or -39 percent and fuel consumption is down dramatically even as the price is DOWN 35% !!! And the demo's want to stimulate NEW car sales? Why? They have worked so very hard to get them down 39%??????   |

Now that looks like a wasteful device. People really pay a few hundred $'s for that thing, and then pay for the electric to run it? What I really think is wasteful is anyone who runs an AC when it is not at least 90F out. I don't even own one, and maybe use it once a year in the car when I'm dressed in a suit or similar. I think the Carbon Credit police should start writing tickets for anyone riding in a car with the AC, on when not really needed.

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 10, 2008 10:34 am) Why is there such a concerted effort to keep scientists quiet about Climate Change that does not fit the agenda? I would say if they are given a chance the radical CC faction will put the final nail in the Big 3 coffin. PS The Larsb composter does look like a good idea. I would have to see some reviews as to its real life workings. We never put meat products on our compost pile. It attracts rats and coyotes. My point was some people EAT the fat rather than WASTE it. |

Obviously it's a "want" not a "need"; therefore it might be "waste". Driving to see the relatives is waste, when you could call them, or get them on a computer cam. Just more self-justified excuses from people who are adding to GW.

Replying to: kernick (Nov 10, 2008 12:55 pm) Absolutely. Driving anywhere that is not a need is wasting energy and causing undo pollution as well as heating up this ball we call home.  I am sure the carbon cops will crack down on any frivolous non essential trips. Anything over 6000 miles per year should be highly taxed. A buck a mile sounds like a good round figure to me. It would work a lot better than $4 or $5 per gallon gas.
