    Homeless people aren't the poor downtrodden peasants you seem to imagine they are.

    Rest assured, there'll be a LOT of trucks that'll have been converted to electric, especially in the developing world (here in the States, for example).

    trucks that deliver food to grocery stores are not electric and can't be converted to electric in 10 years.

    Given the travel distances involved, large semis aren't going to be converted within ten years but local delivery trucks are another story entirely; they'd be perfect for a simple conversion using today's off-the-shelf tech.

    Peak oil is not where oil is scarce - peak oil is where there is so much oil available that we are literally drowning in oil.

    We're long past peak; that's why we have to rely on [expensive] processes such as synthesizing fuels from tar sands...

    That reminds me, I bought a nice Columbia jacket at a thrift store in Dallas for a buck; the caveat? It has a big, green "BP" logo emblazoned on the front... needless to say, I only wear it in Boulder...

    It's in the best interests of the country. TV is a means to inform people and educate them.

    And yes, the anti-muslim hate is racist. Its discriminatory to a large diverse group of people- that's what racism is.

    Is this guy insane?

    Completely... unless he's targeting a different demographic than you're assuming. How many people have dumped thousands into relatively-decent* home theater setups and would love to watch first-run movies in the comfort of their own homes, and we're not even talking about much of a premium, cost-wise; think about how much tickets, popcorn and flavored-corn-syrup-diluted-with-carbonated-pool-water for four people typically costs.

    *It doesn't take much to assemble a system that'll put the typical "nice" theater to shame, at least for small groups of people (it's obviously not going to compare in screen size or total watts...)
