Clinton Joins McCain on Gas-Tax Holiday; Obama Opposes

[hanayama]

Instead of this ploy for votes, more money and research needs to be put into research for other alternatives like hydrogen power.
Oil is gonna eventually run out in a few decades so we might as well get the ball rolling and stop procrastinating

guess how hydorgen is made... ill give you a hint
its made using oil

I dont understand why yours or my government dont just say ok car companies you want to sell cars in north america then they have to be plug in electric cars.The technology is there we do have plug in electric cars that work just fine.So instead of giving our money to the arabs we could keep our money in our own country and help ourselves.CAN you imagine the shock on our arab friends when we say sorry no more oil for us go shove it..Im paying 5$ a gallon up here in canada its fucking ridiculouse...its got to stop

smells like socialism to me. and FUCK THAT.


how about we start drilling our own land.
the problem with alot of americans is that they dont give a fuck where the oil comes from, as long as it doesnt come from us. that would be bad for the caribou.
were ok with drilling the balls out of the desert half a world away, but not anwar.(the oil would make the snow look icky)

we need to drill in alaska and anywhere else we can (within reason)

and in the meantime, work or increasing the fuel effeciency of our cars( oil would last ALOT longer if we were rocking 125 mpg) and realistic alternative energies.

it seems like people are way over focused on just their car.

what about the house?
solar and wind turbine technology is becoming alot more accessible.
imagine if, through a combination of solar panels and wind turbines you could be completely off the energy grid.
or even get a monthly check from the energy company b/c you produced more energy than you consumed

THEN buying an electric car would be a good option, b/c it would run for free off your own energy source

i think people forget how much energy is used by things BESIDES cars.
lets have a lil broader view of this instead of trying to do everything at once.
we cant just change the way we get fuel from the same source

early morning stoned rant... but thats my :twocents:
