Natural Gas and Biogas is a great idea for city buses...but in this horse race I predict electric drive will come out on top.
Near silence, zero emissions, and a torque curve flatter than Nicole Richie's chest? Yes please. The MBTA in Boston has been doing it for their trolleys for decades.
It's reality and I know it. Care to convince me otherwise in a rational and persuasive manner? I challenge you to name one form of energy that Liberals support.
Wind power. And just because you can find some liberals who didn't want it direcly in their back yard (i.e. Cape Wind) doesn't mean they don't support it. It means they are selfish and hypocritical. You know: Just like everybody else. ~String
But that is the problem with liberals, NIMBY, and the absolute, it has to be done my way, or it don't count. Yes they want alternative energy as long as it doesn't inconvenience them, let some one else have to pay the price, not them.
Some oppose certain locations for windmills because birds fly into them. Not "all". You're being juvenile by using this tactic of painting all liberals with the same brush. Just like "some" Republicans have sexual trysts (some gay) in public restrooms; this does not make all Republicans adulterers or gay (see how that works?). You cannot paint an entire political ideology with the same brush because a select few act like idiots. All in all, wind power is the safest and cleanest form of energy and you're attempting to distract away from it by throwing out ridiculous canards. Wind power is sustainable. The USA has the world's greatest wind corridors and they are totally untapped. You're idiotic obsession with oil won't allow you to see past your own prejudice to actually admit that something other than oil is a good idea. ~String
He deserves credit for starting the public debate on the subject. Wind power is great, but the scale will not power the country as we now live. Natural gas is also not much of a substitute. The recent increase in production has been largely due to methods of cracking the ground rock to release it faster. When it runs out, it will run out all of a sudden. All this "free from foriegn oil" talk is so much hot air as long as we use 25% of the world's oil and only hold 3% of the world's reserves. We need to get free from oil.
Right. Nice try. I know where it's located. I'm talking about the original substance/factor that led to its creation. Too bad there aren't too many that agree with you (that all or most of petro comes from abiotic means) and, GASP!, the vast majority of palentologist and geologist tend to agree that it has organic origins. ~String
String, Google; "Experimental investigations on abiotic formation of hydrocarbons under hydrothermal conditions" A plethora of information.
I know the science. I don't live in a vacuum. There is a faction that believes that oil comes from abiotic means. There is a faction that believes that the majority of petrol comes from biological sources. In the end, much of our beliefs gravitate towards one source because of our world view. Just as likely, I can find you mountains of sources that claim that oil comes from biological means. Who's right? ~String
Then you know it doesn't have biological origin...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! OMG, my view is the so-called "minority" view (gasp!) therefore it must be wrong...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
