It's difficult not to be skeptical when Canada just had it's coldest February in 28 years. http://www.thestar.com/News/article/188324
We had days where the temperature was around -40 C with the wind chill, and we were being warned about exposing our skin for longer than necessary for fear of frostbite. We did have a milder than normal winter overall, but it's difficult to feel panic about global warming when we're still getting record cold spells.
I'm not sure about E85 in my area (Eastern Ontario, Canada), but a lot of houses have natural gas run to them. It has to be possible to use that already available natural gas to fill cars that use it.
Give me a story where grandma buys a computer with windows on it and doesn't need help with it from someone tech savvy. Especially with all the crap that some companies package with windows.
The difference is this: I set up a linux desktop for my grandfather... 5 years ago. I haven't had to touch it since.
3 years ago he got a laptop with windows on it for when he's travelling. Every 6-9 months I have to spend a couple hours cleaning crap off of it to get it running 1/2 decent again.
He uses a word processor for writing letters and doing labels, plays card games and listens to his CDs on both. That's it. And yet windows can't handle that for a year without getting so bloated with crap that it barely runs.

Yeap. All sorts of us lined up to elect back in a Liberal Government that got caught blatantly stealing. Where do I sign up?
