The Lies of Being 'Green"

This article From the Desk of David Pogue - The Bottom Line of the Eco Balance Sheet - NYTimes.com  is one excellent example why the "green" movement is a bunch of BS!  No matter what you do someone is angry.  They think you are doing wrong.  But who so they think they are trying to tell us what to do.  Don't let them tell you what to do, all they are trying to do is scare you into doing what they want, don't fall into their trap, Don't Be Scared.

Government Punishes for good Deeds

No good deed goes unpunished. LA Times article Vegetable oil fuels cars -- and tax bills chronicles people trying what they can do for the environment and all they get is punished for it. They state is going after people for running their cars on vegetable oil because they aren't paying tax on it ! ! ! ! When are we going to have a modern version of the Boston Tea Party ! ! ! The Democrats are taxing us to death. They love to control our lives ! ! ! If they really cared about the environment they wouldn't be taxing like this and promote things like electric cars by making the cost $5000 instead of only rich people being able to afford them. We need to cancel ALL laws and start over with a minimal set and go from there.

Switchgrass-to-ethanol comes out clean in study

Now that they are saying that making ethanol from corn is questionable, using grass may be an answer. Switchgrass-to-ethanol comes out clean in study - but all of this is too new to make any real decision about. My preference is still an electric car.

The Hybrid Car Farce

I do not like this wave of hybrid technology for cars. The internal combustion engine should have died a long time ago. It's ancient technology. I would've thought by now we would be using some sort of hovercraft, sort of like Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars. It seems to me that putting two different forms of propulsion together would complicate things more than it already is. Cars are already too complicated, we need to make them simpler and longer-lasting.

I am a big fan of the electric car, but not because of the global warming lie. Mainly because they're so simple and need very little maintenance. The government doesn't want them to get popular because they rely so much on the money they get from the gasoline tax and in smog fees. Another reason may be that a lot of automobile repair workers would be out of a job.

Businesses don't want electric cars because they are easy to fix, and businesses rely on repair to get you to keep coming back. Look at the software business for example you always have to buy an upgraded version to fix the bad software that they sold you the first place. The hybrids don't get that much extra gas mileage anyway. The government is already talking about raising taxes because we are not using enough gas and they aren't collecting enough of our money. That's their main incentive for keeping gas mileage low. Cars haven't improved in gas mileage hardly at all in the past 40 or 50 years. There is something wrong, very, very, wrong here.
