There's an eyeroll competition going on and I wasn't invited?![]()
I personally don't believe in manmade global warming, but I do believe in air pollution. I would argue that by 2020, most new cars are going to be several times more fuel efficient than their 20th century counterparts - and with any luck, running on hydrogen fuel cells or seawater. I think even if you do believe in global warming, you can be encouraged at the gradual decline of the SUV and the advent of cars like the Prius.
I would also love to see this...though our government will have to find new ways to extract billions of tax dollars from us when we stop using petroleum. We're already moving in that direction, which is great. What isn't great is that the government and our greenies really believe that bankrupting a bunch of us will help this process! We have the oil, drill and pump until the alternate technology is available!
I think it's sick that the media is gloating over a 2% drop in gas use by Americans. What exactly does that mean? Some parents can't afford the expense to go to work every day, so they're going on welfare? Truck drivers spend 8 hours at home instead of 48? Families that would normally get together over the holiday weekend are forced to stay home and miss out on seeing each other for a few days on one of the 3 or 4 times a year they can arrange it? This is something good?? :mad:
We pollute much less than we did in the past, and continuing this trend is great. Doing it by penalizing everyday Americans is a liberal fantasy.
America is already starting to use smaller cars like Europe because of gas pricing.
OMG THE MARKET IS DEALING WITH GLOBAL WARMING, THE MARKET IS GOD.
