Oil will eventually disapear but we are making steps for eco friendly cars.

Although Top Gear may have shown many inspiring vehicles running off all sorts of other products such as methane produced from human and cow excrement.

They recently performed a test with a battery powered car and then against a new car in America that performs just as well as a petrol car.

For the life in me i cannot remember the car but it looked like we are getting close to providing a car we can all use.

What if there was an environentaly friendly product the EXTENDS the use of fossil fuels? There is and it works like you wouldn’t believe! Both our gasoline powered cars are ZERO emissions!

With the global financial crisis,we never know which way fuel prices are set to go. Going green is most definitely the only long term solution.

This is also done to end oil and gas reserves so new world order could take place after world war 3…

I hate it when environmentalists talk about things like, “…and abuse of fossil fuels has put the planet in jeopardy.” Humans have never put the planet in jeopardy. The planet is going to be here for a long, long time – even after the sun goes, the planet will likely exist in some icy form. We aren’t even threatening the extinction of life on the planet, regardless of what we do. Environmentalists are the worst kind of self-centered people because they would have you believe they are doing things for the good of the planet when it is really all about sustaining human life on this planet. If you really love the Earth, the best thing that could happen is the removal of humans so who cares if we warm the planet until we’re all dead?

3 point mid term program, as far as I can see with my environmental experience, and not knowing the figures.

1) Industrial Renovation. Cut the toxic crap, basically.

2)Environmental Regeneration. Maintenance, Stabilization, and Expansion of current and future forest programs. Earth requires an ecosystem, kill that, you kill ourselves.

3) Technological Augmentation. Basically, giant, un yet “invented”, expensive, noisy, atmospheric processors.

1 or 2 points is not enough, all three would be a MINIMUM requirement, to bring us anywhere near neutral global environmental/atmospheric stability. We need to AIM for the positive, to really “heal” the ecosystem at all.

Tokenism, carbon taxes/credits are a bloody joke. If we do not ALL start actively WORKING towards rebuilding and stabilizing the global ecology, it will be too late in 10 years when we have all this, haha, money from carbon taxes, and still the damage over those 10 years from output. Its a joke.

Get out there and start breeding frogs and plants, not spreading this toxic cancer that is “Terran society”.

By then it will be too late.

i think you are right on all counts. I notice the pattern of gas price-worry for the environment-size of cars people buy long time ago. Most people like to feel the need up with the Joneses and lack discernment and specially social conscience when it comes to decisions like that.
I have been walking as much as possible whenever possible and encouraging as many people as possible to do likewise. But i know is a personal choice that few people are willing to make.

Hi,

I may well be an idiot.

To answer the other questions.

Nope, haven’t driven one.
I’m 50 – don’t know how punkish.
Yes, I live in a city with mass transit.
I live with my partner.
Not disabled, I walk around quite happily.

Not sure what this has to do with idiocy. If you mean am I aware that all these things may not be true, yes, I know this.

I would love to drive less, but when you live where I do, you have to come to accept that if you’re going to do anything other than hike in the woods or go to the same 3 restaurants, you’re going to have to drive. I love a good hike, but sheesh, variety is nice!

-If you want a good play, you drive.
-If you want a good restaurant, you drive.
-If you want to shop somewhere other than wal-mart, you drive.
-If you want a good concert, you drive.

See a pattern developing here?
And you drive at least an hour, sometimes two. Three, and you’re in NYC and in heaven.

Heck, I’m going to the dentist today (yuck!) and it will be a half hour drive.

If your budget doesn’t allow an expensive electric car (or if an electric car doesn’t have 4 wheel drive to drive you home on country roads in a snow storm and won’t get you up that unpaved dirt road to bring home your husband’s broken down 4-wheeler. , what are your options?

If public transportation isn’t available, what are your options? Even if public transportation were available, you can’t bring home a whole cart load of groceries home on the bus, can you?

Evan, to begin with, who cares if you have ever OWNED a car. Let’s see.

1) Have you driven a car?
2) Are you some 14 y/o punk?
3) Do you live in a city that actually has mass transit?
4) Are you homeless?
5) Do you still live with your parents?
6) Are you disabled and can’t drive?

And the list goes on and on.
