Eventually they will be more affordabel- look at computers. etc. To help that along we need to stop subsidizing the old technology and put more into the new. But that is more corporate foot-dragging and their dependence upon old subsidies- it’s called Corporate Welfare.

I would love to buy a hybrid car as long as it goes 200 mph!! It must be under $50,000.00. Good luck! Just kidding!!! I had a 1981 Toyota Tercel. What a up soup can! Got good gas mileage, but I was safer 19′ in the air in my deer stand!!! Innovation is good. There is no question about that. As to Copenhagen, climate change, Cap N Trade, et al, I’m totally against the government running our lives. I do not wish to be a Pavlov dog running every time the government bell rings!!!

Oh, and I drove an early 80’s Corvette once and it felt like I was driving an old pick-up. Just sayin’ I hope the newer ones are better, cuz that one sucked.

Poor poor old beat-up free- enterprise…!! Good God give me break! And Paul, nobody’s taking your car away- and guess what? If we conserve oil now IT WILL BE available for a long time, my short-sighted and cranky friend, for the old classic cars and other even more important things that it is needed for. Why aren’t conservatives conservative any more??? It’s up to us Liberals to keep you wild conservatives from ruining everything.

I love my 1986 1/2 pace car Corvette! Get’s 32+ miles per gallon at 65-70 miles an hour. By the way, there is enough oil, natural gas etc. in the US alone to sustain us for 200 years. Oh my God we will run out of our resources! In 1980 I saw my first computer. Did you know that the basic computer today has more memory than the computer that put us on the Moon??? Can you imagine what the next 10/20 years will be if Government let’s free enterprise simply do what they do best? Create jobs, be innovative without cap N Trade, Climate change bull and high taxes. JFK is rolling in his grave. Cars, or any other vehicle can be made more fuel efficient. You simply cannot do it over-night. By the way, I will never part with my old partner, the Corvette!!

True, valid point. But as Neil might say, that is splitting hairs. It still is technically “zero emission”. And so is a 100% electric car. Bottom line is they are more environmentally and CO2 friendly. Dan, and other scared people, I know you LOVE your ICE. You cannot fathom a world without it much less with any less of it (Dammit, I can’t just drive around on all my motorized gadgets and not give a rat’s ass??!!) But someday, it will run out, then what? Enlighten me, oh intelligent sage.

True - And I’d love to own a hydrogen fuel cell car - but it does require electricity to electrolyze water and extract the hydrogen. Where does that electricity come from? Right now, mostly from coal and natural gas. Zero emissions? No. Transferred emissions.

Sorry lazerator, but the hydrogen fuel cell cars emit only water vapor. Another one bites the dust. Next?

There is no such thing as a “zero emissions vehicle”. It’s just another scam perpetrated by the greenies upon the ingnorant masses. Where do you suppose that vehicle gets the engergy to move it? If the liberals had one brain cell in their skulls they would be dangerous. But they’ll find out what the public thinks about them in 2012.

Rob, you have your own opinion for which I respect. Unfortunately you are wrong. Quit pointing fingers without facts.

Oh Yeah,
And more mendacious behavior from the AGW lobby…I particularly enjoyed the (Accurate) majority of comments…

Rob,
Deep level of concensus from the IPCC? So what? Even if there is, they are not even the most qualified bunch, the majority being political appointees more than not, in an organization run by a Railway engineer? At least you could agree that maybe its time that we installed an organization which is able to seriously clarify the situation as regards AGW, not a bunch of hacks, but real appropriate scientists.

Ok Rob,
Then be a little bit clearer in future please. I just get fed up of hearing this kind of stuff in the freakin media. Oh and I am not any kind of tool, however I suspect that you may well be.

Well Lance,
Nobody did! However I confess to being very passionate about this subject, so fair enough. I would still defend Robs freedom of speech as well as my own though.

It’s not all about you Paul. I didn’t specify who demonizes Obama, just that it happens and will continue no matter what he does, just like with Clinton. And I don’t believe you when you say you would be as concerned and angry if Repubs were making money off Cap n Trade, even though I’m sure some will. It worked for acid rain and that fact makes it a legitimate strategy to try with this issue. And it hasn’t passed yet, as far as I know and may not. It would also be a boon for big business and that is why it even has a chance in hell of passing. It isn’t just Al Gore and Soros who stand to make money off it. And as I posted previously the whole concept is a Republican/Business one, and people like me don’t support it mainly because it is another profit scam like you say… but not just for Liberals as you believe.

I’m sorry to have to continually inject reasoning onto this site, but I can’t help it.
