  1. Maybe I'm a little slow. But can't farmers and the related parts of the entire system just change what time they get up, and stay open?? I don't see anything gained in the fall.

    I thought about it too. You gain a little sunlight in the morning - (When people like me, don't want it glaring in my eyes as I'm driving.) And then you get shorted when you need it in the evening. (I don't go to sleep around 4:00pm.

    Sometimes I wish he would drop some of his programs and concentrate on cars. I think it would be a big loss to humanity if the company sank. There's always room for improvement on the highway.

  7. Lots of Gas in Ice? Uses? on Can Japan Burn Flammable Ice For Energy? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    What I'm thinking, is this the way we might have to power vehicles? Or power stations?...I'm going to assume that methane has become liquefied within the ice to produce that much methane from 1 cubic meter. Not to hard to believe since an English tinkerer used a methane powered car back in the 1960's. He was able to liquefy the gas by just by using a conventional compressor you can by at a store.

    Reminds me of the patent office around the the 1890's when one guy said: "Well all the patents to be invented have been made. We might as well close the patent office".

    You skipped the whole thing.. What "government" (we don't have one - we have corporations telling the government what to do) would allow garbage insurance to exist and cross State lines?? We don't need fire insurance for our houses either but comedian Lewis Black puts it back into sane perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Sadly, I write this: Your statement is half true. Except for Regarding Insurance. They now can pass "garbage" insurance from one State to another. To top that, they don't have to follow any rules that meet any requirements or regulations your State has put in place.. Don't the monsters at the White House pass nice laws?

    "and even less of what you hear" I think that old saying has gone way down in value.. So can you now get caught doing anything and say it was "fixed"? Has truth in pictures gone way of the Dodo and dinosaurs?

  18. Thank you! You are awake.. I know that you were born into an era that has not known much freedom. And were loosing more by the day :( ..Look at the old Woodstock Festivals to see people enjoying freedom on youtube.

  19. Did I overlook something? Isn't privacy the thing that gives a device value? Would life be devalued if we lost it all?

    When 60mpg from a hybrid is not hard to do, it's easy to see the pollution math. ICE engines do their worse at low rpm's. This is when the electric motors kick in the most. This is also the reason why China is building Thorium reactors like crazy. Not much nuclear waste - Short half-life - Can be shut down instantly. Also Number one in the world at building gigawatts of power with solar cells. They now say their goal is to keep the country clean and be one with nature. (After the backlash of the angry population being poisoned.) OUR country does the opposite. Sad..

  24. Comparing it with Diesel Poison?? on Electric Cars Emit 50 Percent Less Greenhouse Gas Than Diesel, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Is not saying much - The few they have that work pretty well when new and well kept are rare, (The injectors are the weakest point). But drive behind an old one that smokes like a chimney or accelerates hard. . Ulgh! Diesel stresses the brain, scroll down a bit and see: https://www.sciencedaily.com/r... Diesel is bad, for lungs(carcinogenic): polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), adhere easily to the surface of the carbon particles and are carried deep into the lungs. http://www.jabfm.org/content/2... I'm hoping that all of this does not apply do Bio-Diesel engines. Rudolf Diesel originally invented them that way. Oil companies had other plans for his engine and him. He went "missing" at sea.
