Smog will become a thing of the past.  Can't wait.  :cheers:

Read up on nickel and platinum mining as well as battery disposal if you think hybrid cars are really good for the environment. Its feel-good trickery that rearranges environmental damage rather than fixes it.

the other problem is people are too stupid to realise charging the battery just moves the carbon output from your car to a power station.

no, the problem is people can't seem to understand that it's much more efficient to burn a million 'cars' worth of fuel in one power station than in a million cars. much more efficient...

it doesnt stop carbon output though , just moves it, the national grid in the uk at least is quite inneficcient so probably negates the gain from centralized production.

Blanka:
Gas is not the problem, as the price is pretty transparent (the Israel rise is complete crap though, all countries should boycott both Israel and Palestina until all weapons are sold back to Russia and the USA in a weapon for food program).
I hate the oil-price linked products. For example flying is NOT getting down 40% like the gas prices did last month. House-gas is not getting down 40% like car-gas did. Electricity is not getting 40% down like gas did. But they all will go 20% up if oil goes 20% up again. That part of it is sick!
BTW, why do you call it gas? Gas is a gas, Petrol is a liquid ≠ gas.

richms:
The solution is higher density housing tied into commercial areas so that there is no need for the car.

So long as people want to outlive their means by having a detached house in the middle of a large plot with a yard they have to maintain with even greater demands on water and resources just to look pretty, there will be an energy deficit.


More like bees in a hive and less mcmansions on land thats better used for agriculture etc...
