  1. Fuel Cells- The ultimate leash on the Middle East by Mulletproof · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Fuel cells and alternate energies... The best way to deal with uppity Middle Eastern countries without resorting to military action. Make it all easily availible and watch the oil market tumble, and with it, these terrorist sympathizing weeniers influence.

  2. Its all about power, baby... by tgd · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    These just won't fly until they can get power levels up. Right now I've got a nice compact powerplant downstairs under my hood that cranks out 272 kilowatts of power.

    Until they have hybrid sources or fuel cells that can crank out that kind of power levels, I'm just not interested. Environment, fuel costs, everything else be damned. Thats what I care about. When I push down on the pedal, I want gobs of power available at my command to deliver to the ground.
