"Coskata claims its ethanol has the potential to reduce lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 84 percent compared to conventional gasoline." Aussie Automaker Holden Says It's Seeking Alternative Fuel From Lawn Clippings Not much hope for me. I don't have a yard and my switchgrass plant isn't thriving. |

On 1/27/2006, Algore said "We have 10 yrs left to save the planet from a scorching", We are down to 7yrs and a month..More nonsense from the lefthand, and their paid Climatologists...Folks, wake up, smell the roses, the only warming is the chatter from the lefthand in seizing power..And grabbing your money..Selling carbon credits and heading our life style to the trash dump.. They are after tailpipes---cars, trucks, Suvs, cattle, pigs, and anything that flatulents..The Democrats are inflated with self-importance, pompous, and pretentious---flatulent oratory... EPA has been guided to nail the Big3 by setting mileage stds and emissions stds..Our liberal Congress despises capitalism, however, their liberal buddies, Lawyers, are happy with the system for they can sue the moral crap out of corporations, fat settlements in their pockets, and contribute back hefty sums to the Democratic party to keep the game going..Look at the cigarette settlement, only took them 30 yrs, but they keep hammering away at the health hazard, however they will never outlaw cigatettes..It's a cash cow for lawyers and tax revenue for Congress.. Lawyers representing the Global Warming crowd has crippled America's future and the "Change" mantra from the pres-elect will erode our freedoms further..In 2012 you will be after another "CHANGE", back to the good old days. GM & Chrysler will be gone..SUVS and P/Us was 50% of their production and the cash cows, the eco-crowd hates our manufacturing base of the Motorcity, and the anti-war crowd wants our military dissolved. Our Military by 2011 will be used to protect our politicans from the general population.. Public works will be in full force..Govt will be forced to print money to pay the way for Socialism, for the tax revenues will dry up..No industry, no growth, and the poor will be poorer and the rich will be okay... The Global Warming hoax was used in the 20s and 30s and you see what happened in Europe.. WWII..USSR went broke on the communism deal and started on the Capitalism binge, China likes Capitalism too, however it is hard to keep the population under wraps with the manufacturing bige, people like and want freedom.. It's damn cold in Florida this winter, so everybody please go start your internal combustion engine and warm us up.. Wait until gas prices start going up and the Left hand starts talking about excess-profits, and possibile govt take-over of the oil industry..Makes a good story-line in appealing to the hearts of the left-hand voters...Right-on baby.. Compare government to an M-1 tank, it crushs every thing it fires at or runs over!!! Mother Nature takes care of the Earth and trumps Govt every time...The Gore family fortune was made in oil companies, mainly Occidental Petr, sold out when oil reached $147/barrel,then switched over to the business of carbon credits, windmills, solar panels, and green anything. He's on a roll, just taking the $$$$$ out of your pockets.. I can see the day when "Termites" will be on the Endangered Species List.. |

Al Gore should be held accountable for inciting people to this kind of religious fervor. His movie of lies has warped the little minds of the World. This kind of activity will become more prevalent unless stiff penalties are handed down. The UK seems to be a Mecca for the GW/CC Cultist. Passengers' fury as climate change protest at Stansted airport forces dozens of flights to be cancelled Climate change protesters stormed Stansted Airport today in an astonishing breach of security that brought flights to a standstill. More than 50 protesters from the Plane Stupid group cut through fencing in the early hours before chaining themselves together just yards from the runway. Thousands of furious passengers left stranded after dozens of flights were cancelled and others seriously delayed had to be kept calm by armed police. The incident, which is hugely embarrassing for airport operator BAA, is believed to be the first time demonstrators have managed to occupy one of Britain's major airports. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1092783/Passengers-fury-climate-change-p- - rotest-Stansted-airport-forces-dozens-flights-cancelled.html

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 08, 2008 9:20 am) I'm always amazed at how these environmental groups use fascist tactics, to try and force others to agree with them. Maybe next time they can bring some Molotov cocktails and burn some planes? Just another group of people who don't understand that people have the freedom to choose, and respect others' freedoms.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 08, 2008 10:37 am)  Funny how they are well represented by the democratic party. UAW also!! CNBC mentioned in reference to the low heating oil prices that it is EXTREMELY COLD in the NorthEast. Uncharacteristic for a LONG PERIOD. |

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 08, 2008 11:12 am) Funny, as how the biggggg three only make money on their BIG trucks (AKA SUV's) Indeed, the UAW president understands this also. So if SUV's and other big cars are now ... verboten...... not so much as a PEEP as to how they propose to get profitable with out them!!!??? UAW are not backing down one iota on wage concessions, as they have loudly proclaimed earlier so called "concessions"...!!!! This is better than (fake) reality TV.
