I’m still waiting for an apology?

lymanspond questioned:

from the age assemble that never listened to me about shutting off the illumination and tv when you left the room……..now they look down at us in view of the fact that we don’t handbook a hybrid vehicle
let me chat the “me’ to” to “us”….I was offended by Ford’s new cash-making with the childish girl telltale her limb of the clergy not to handbook all the way to their destination in view of the fact that all here drives a “hybrid car”
but I do see he is driving out of “mcmansion” so driving a hybrid makes up for that….

Which of these vehicle upgrades will save the most fuel for a family (please read this scenario)?

In rank Police questioned:

Say your Family tree tree has two vehicles and you handbook each 12K miles per year.

One is a huge SUV that averages 10 mpg and the additional is a midsized sedan that averages 20 mpg.

You want to trade one of them to help save on Family tree tree fuel expenditure.

Is it better to trade the SUV for another sedan that gets 20 mpg or to trade the sedan for a hybrid that gets 45 mpg?

Are Americans at all justified in complaining about gas prices?

Dana1981, Master of Knowledge questioned:

As gas prices continue their rise headed for $4 per gallon in the USA, a lot of public are complaining.

But, the USA has the most terrible fuel efficiency requirements of any first planet public. We have half the fuel efficiency requirements of Europe. Our gas also remains cheaper than most additional countries, and expenditure less than half as much as in the UK. Many Americans handbook pointlessly generous and inefficient cars, trucks and SUVs. Hybrids subdue make up less than 2% of car sales in the US.

If we’re unwilling to take steps to boost our fuel efficiency, yet our gas prices are subdue far below most additional countries, are Americans at all defensible in complaining about gas prices?

What do you think about Congress’ compromise on new US fuel efficiency standards?

Dana1981, Master of Knowledge questioned:

Congressional negotiators reached a deal late Friday on energy legislation that would break down American automakers to boost the fuel efficiency of their cars and set alight trucks by 40 percent by 2020.

The bid, which would demand automakers to realize 35 miles per gallon on average, is similar to a rate that was voted for in the summer by the Senate but was desperately opposed by the auto companies.

The negotiate must make sure passage in the Household, even if the Senate may persist on changes. It does not grow to contain provisions, like $16 billion in new taxes on the oil industry, that drew a veto risk from President Bush.

even if they meet the law’s mandate, the fuel efficiency of the American car fleet will subdue lag far in the rear that of additional foremost built-up countries.

European auto companies, for model, must average 40 mpg and China requires a 35 mpg ordinary.

What do you reflect of these new principles?

Could we remove most streetlights and use that energy for plug-in hybrid vehicles?

heinsight questioned:

I have heard that many streetlights are in place to weigh out the load on potential plants by using nighttime room. And that streetlights and additional outdoor illumination really can upshot in sleeping tribulations.

How many road/wellbeing and additional outdoor illumination may maybe we take out in communities generous and small across America? It would take culture and responding to any concerns over protection issues. The energy we would save, the better rest we would have. The crime we would prevent.

We have so much poorly intended lighting. May maybe we incorporate outdoor lighting into the building code as we see at www.darksky.org?

How much fuel is left to sustain the whole world?

The Drifter questioned:

Fuel, in all forms, has been used in view of the fact that ancient era, right? In putting fuel of each form into consideration, namely: fossil fuel, geothermal, gripping, hydroelectric, coal, wood, oil, etc…, How long may maybe all these energy sustain Earth?

In a few being?
In a few centuries?
In a few millenia?

How long?
