[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3795046, member: 27098"] LOL, saving the environment! We need greenhouse gasses to frankly, survive on planet earth, especially CO2. There are more growing trees now than ever before. When was the last time you actually saw a car belching out blue smoke, burning oil and gas smelling of octane? Aside from the weird diesel guys who like "rolling coal" modern cars typically have CO2 and water exiting their exhaust pipes. We drill for oil, mine coal, burn them and plants convert them into Oxygen and return the C02 to the soil when they die, IMHO. I have been told most of my life that we have 10 years every year of my before we are all dead from greenhouse gasses. Quite frankly, we are more at risk of nuclear war than ever and in my mind that would be an apocalyptic event, but would not necessarily end humanity. Electric cars are a farce. They will create a mileage tax and be more expensive than gasoline cars for a crappy little golf cart that is "affordable" for the masses. Mining lithium and cobalt, very hard on the environment so hard on it that our EPA won't allow it. Same with solar cells, you need selenium, very toxic and messy to mine. With gas prices going up they will be affordable and be very attractive short term, but 10 years from now eat up even more of our money. As for cows, they convert vegetables to cheap abundant protein cheaply. Less meat, weak fatter people with a lot of illness, sugar is very cheap to make. The environmentalists are killing us not to mention politicians. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
