Once demand returns the new energy bubble will dwarf the last one. A decimated dollar will magnify normal supply and demand many times over.

I can just tell you from personal experience that domestic drilling production dropped in half starting in December and the new "not windfall profits but hidden taxes designed to kill an industry" taxation scheme hatched by the Administration means that only significantly rising prices will move the needle on domestic production. Green's fine, but what do you do in the interim? And what impact does that have on today's economy? Best to....radically alter healthcare just to totally upset another applecart. Look, I won't even get into which systems are the right ones. I just don't think it makes sense to put this much in play at one time because you put a lot of people through a lot of pain.

I grow more pessimistic by the day.

well just print more $$!

after all that won't have any bearing on the value of the dollar!

:spaz:

blame asia and environmentalists, anyone but those actually responsible...

speculators and fat lazy fucks who need to take their 3 ton SUV to the corner store for some glazed donuts

I remember hearing a girl I work with complaining about gas prices when they were about $4/g. She was driving her brand new Mercury Mountaineer 30 miles each way to work. Boy that problem she created for herself was really bothering her.

and yet for all the bitching and self righteousness you bring to the board, its amazing what a hypocrite you ....

hey take it easy on tits

If only we could drive SmartCars and get killed instantly during accidents.

Bumper Cars have better security.

Have you ever researched anything before forming an opinion?

:logik:

ARLINGTON, VA — The Smart car is getting a lot of attention for its small size and style, and now it's earning impressive crash test ratings. In recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the 2008 Smart Fortwo, the smallest car for sale in the US market, earned the top rating of good for front and side crash protection. Its seat/head restraints earned the second highest rating of acceptable for protection against whiplash in rear impacts.

Those crash tests are bogus and don't take in to effect getting hit by a larger car. Reports have already been out saying they are a death trap when getting hit by a larger vehicle.

Ill take my link over your opinion.

When they start testing Hummers and cement trucks against that piece of shit, shoot me a link.

Youre fucked if a cement truck hits you no matter what youre driving.

Unless youre driving, maybe, another cement truck.

Better run out and buy a cement truck, gonzo.

Only if I can I fill the back of it with greenhouse gasses, polar bears and spraycans.

about what I expected when your reasoning on this topic dead ended

I knew that'd piss you off, you fuckin' nancy. ;)

Go back to your dendrophelia usergroup and talk about skateboards and lightbulbs full of dangerous mercury and painting your roof white.

Yeah Im so pissed off right now.

I think you should log off. You're killing the planet by using electricity to maintain an internet connection. How selfish of you, Pats. You of all people should know better.

Using electricity doesnt kill the planet. It doesnt even harm the environment.

You fail.

Second time in this thread.

But using plasma screen TV's will bring about the apocalypse!

:spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz: :spaz:

:blink:


Apocalypse, end of the world, these are denier terms. Climatologists are saying we will destroy our own environment. The planet will be fine.

this is one seriously bad thread for you JG. You should stop.... like, a long time ago.

....said NOIP from his freshly painted white roof.

:lol: :lol: :lol:


Because electricity isnt produced in coal and gas powered plants........it comes from magic little electricity fairies who live in our electrical outlets and leave no carbon footprints.

And suncubes, lots of suncubes..........because those things work! :lol:

Liberals like for others to live their lives as they see fit. Put out that cigarette and park that SUV.

:zzz:

No shit. Pats is officially dismissed as "board wannabe scientist."

Perhaps Pats gets all of his eletricity from a Faraday electromagnet and not a power plant?

then why worry about glonbal warmng if the planet will be fine?

hmm... looks like a GM product she is probably just like many other americans... that looks like demand to me. Oh well, lets ignore it.

atleast fall back to a relevant defensive position...

LOL. Using crash test data comparing small cars to other small cars really doesn't work.

Facts are smaller cars like the Smart Car are death traps. Pats "the scientist" forgets about physics?

Americans are buying more small cars to cut fuel costs, and that might kill them.
As a group, occupants of small cars are more likely to die in crashes than those in bigger, heavier vehicles are, according to data from the government, the insurance industry and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).

The newest small vehicles, of course, meet today's strict safety standards and can be laden with the latest safety hardware, such as stability control and side air bags. They are safer than ever. And differing designs mean some small cars are safer than average. But even the safest are governed by the laws of physics, which rule in favor of bigger, heavier vehicles, even in single-vehicle crashes.

In Pats' world:

1. Electricity doesn't come from power plants.

2. Small cars >>>> bigger cars in accidents
