You're right. The issue however, is not low density suburban sprawl, or low efficiency. It is the inherently polluting nature of gasoline. For a variety of reasons, I would like to live in a suburban sprawl, thus I am inefficient. Thus, I would like to reduce the cost of my choices by developing lower cost energy sources. Fossil gas has got to go.
Let's all invest our tax money into public transport, and if it works, we'll all have better transportation infrastructure.
Yeah, and we all know how that works. My car should cost just 3 cents a mile (take the total road budget and divide it by vehicle miles travelled - no gas tax, no reg fee). Meanwhile, a bus costs 1000 times more per mile than a car (cost is the 4th power of weight). So, my car, at that rate, my car is subsidising buses and commercial vehicles. 7 dollar a gallon gas and unsustainable (both economically and environmentally) public transport is not my idea of progress.
Let's all invest our tax money into public health, and if it works, we'll all be healthier. And so forth.
I'm fine with that.
Hell, the American economic system is basically, "Let's create an aristocracy, and hope they don't screw us over." It's appropriately named "trickle down economics," and they keep telling me it's raining.
And it's a disaster, because people are allowed to operate without liability. These corporations have gotten to big, bought out the government, and now are slapped on the wrist for their mistakes. In a real economic system, we'd say, keep what you create. The government provides basic services on a user fee basis, where a basic service is defined as anything that runs on a singleton basis. I.E., roads, water, power, even public transport. As well as police, health, and fire.
Well, the radius of the visible universe is roughly 7.6 * 10^6 Planck lengths. That means the volume is on the order of 10^183 cubic Planck lengths. So, if you can calculate PI to 200 digits or so, you're really accurate. At some point, more accurate than spacetime itself.
You assume Socialism is ownership of governments by corporations. That's not Socialism, that's Fascism.
Or what I call corporate socialism, to piss of the republicans.
Modern Socialism is the ownership of governments by people
With all the fads, witch-hunts, and random behavior that come with democracy.
If America were a democracy, we could vote to invalidate EV patents, since the value of those patents being socially owned would carry more benefits for society at large than it does as private property.
If America was a democracy, it would have collapsed a long time ago, as people vote away their rights. Now, we have trouble voting away our rights but we're still succeeding. If those patents should be socially owned, why don't we vote to take away your computer and make it socially owned. Who decides what the limit is? I would agree with the need to shorten the patents.
I'm sure in that former situation you would decry imperial governments stealing property that doesn't belong to them, but that's okay.
Umm, yes. That's why I'm against the wars of America and Britan, against China, Africa, France, Germany, Japan, and virtually every other government on the face of the planet. I'm against all of em'.
It's a right-wing ideology, and I call it socialism because the word pisses them off. It is socialism, because it is the sharing of risk and privatization of reward.
Socialism is not the solution. It is the problem. The reason the Rav4 can't be built is because chevron owns the battery patents. Patents are a form of government interference in the market, I.E. corporate socialism. Get rid of those patents on those big NiMH and we'll have EV conversions everywhere within a year at incredible prices. Then, those EV conversion companies would scale up and GM would be dead, assuming corporate socialists did not bail them out.

That's all probably true. What I'm saying is interesting consequences of fundamental constant change. What happens when you cross an FSC gradient? Well, a lot of paradoxes arise.
...the implications would be profound to say the least.
Like free energy. If E=MC^2, then by converting matter and energy back and forth while C changes can lead to more than you started with. Of course, the theory that leads to E=MC^2 are based on the idea that C is constant, and break down if C starts changing. If the elementary charge changes, you could charge batteries while e was small, then discharge them while e was high. This would lead to more energy out then in. If the plank constant changed, well I'm too tiered to think about it now, but I'm sure there's some scheme in which atoms are bombarded with photons, raised into a higher energy state, planks constant changed, and them allowed to radiate. This would lead to more energy out than in. The universe blue screens if constants aren't constant.
It has nothing to do with philosophy. Vitalism is a tested and disproven theory. Materialism is a tested theory that has not been disproven. If you would like to undisprove vitalism, you must limit it. Vitalists first said that organic chemicals could be synthesized outside of living creatures. Then we synthesised those compounds from rocks, oils and air. Then we synthesised those oils from gases. So vitalists are wrong about the chemistry of life. End of story. You can say that life has a soul, but that will be disproven when a computer becomes sapient.
I can show you that matter causes electric fields. All I need is salt water, copper, and iron. The result is that an electric field will be created from the matter in iron-air battery. The opposite effect would mean that if I produced 0.7 volts, I would have an iron-air battery. Life has an electric field because the material process of evolution choice electric signals as a communication mechanism, because they are fast and readily cause chemical effects. That's also why sapient biological robots (us) used machinery to assemble arrays of semiconductor materials to assemble non-sapient computers. The disproof of this hypothesis will occur when a sapient (or at least self staining) robot is built. If we wanted we could then build a sapient mechanical computer (Babbage style), thus disproving the necessity of electric fields to sapience.
To show that your hypothesis has merit, you must take a set of electric fields, from solar panels or other inorganic sources, and a lot wires, and have organic life pop out. Also, double check to prevent contamination by bacteria. The little critters are everywhere and will clog up the experiment. Now, chemical experiments have not yet have life pop out of them yet. There have been some self-replicating RNA enzymes that came out of nowhere but a pile of individual RNA monomers. Meanwhile, increasing amounts of research (like TFA) is showing where this RNA mixture could have come from. I'm guessing everything, from transition metals, to radio active decay, to rare earth metals and other forms of unobtainium where involved.
Then all the posts about how fat people are evil are redundant too. Because I've heard em' more.
You can't tell the difference between opinion and truth.
You apparently can't tell the difference between truth and opinions about how to deal with truth. The GGGP posted a list of facts and a few opinions about those facts. I replied with a set of not well-liked opinions.
You don't like democracy or can't get that you L-O-S-T the election and the liberals get to do what they want for a change.
I do like democracy and I have opinions contrary to those of the majority. I'm asking the majority why they have those opinions so they can figure it out. And even though the liberals one the election, they did not get change. They got a corporatist president. Just like all we Hillary supporters warned em'.
So just try saying something ACTUALLY new, even better- try out "interesting" for a change. God knows we've not it heard from you guys in a very long time.
You're right that Obama's not a liberal. He's a wall-street issue corporatist, only he set up his campaign to get liberal votes, not conservative ones. All his supporters have been duped. His supporters are still liberal though. And I'm not a partisan repug. I'm unaligned. Used to be a democrat, though.
To all the people that modded me down, why? I am honestly expressing a dissenting opinion and not trolling. This opinion is, as far as I know, not posted above, so can't be redundant.
I laughed out loud at this. Who do you think you're fooling?
No one because I'm not lying about my views. You're the one I've fooled. The fact is that if there is a way for people to become non-obese, and people don't bother to do it, then they don't care about being obese. Otherwise, why wouldn't they do it?
Exactly. I love watching all the hippies drink the local, sustainable Odwalla juice. . Soda contains less sugar than many types of juice by volume, and it is made from local filter tap water (less transportation weight). Ever notice how the left's social vices are only things that poor people do? SUV's are bad, don't worry about my trip to Europe. But, one trip to Europe per year is worse than owning a Hummer H3 for a year. Soda is bad for you, starbucks is good. Playstations cause a sedentary lifestyle, school doesn't. That's why I have left the Obama wing of the democratic party.

It could not have anything to do with population density, could it?
If we could get cellphones to work in airplanes, then some teenage girls I know could power the aircraft.

Combine with this: viologen mediated sugar-air fuel cell. The viologen is a major weed killer, so it's quite cheap.

Cars are getting anti-collision devices and software anyway in the coming years
I hope not. We can't make a stable desktop operating system. What makes you think we can make a stable anti-collision system?
Electric cars emit much less noise.
Just make mufflers illegal :).
Spin up a flywheel. Lift up a bucket of water. Drive a car up a mountain, and let it cost back down later.
