What about this solution to get the US off of gas dependency?

brian questioned:

Why doesn’t the Regime fund a contest like the $10 million “Ansari X Prize”, which was a contest that awarded to the first privately-funded assemble which launches a pilot and two passengers (or the equivalent in ballast) into interval, and then repeats the feat surrounded by two weeks?

They can award $10 million to the first privately-funded assemble which can start a gas engine that is able to get 250 miles to the gallon. Bring collectively this with batteries like the Hybrid cars and the rest is description.

If we can send a rocket to mars and land two apparatus that continue subdue to roll around and send us cinema I reflect we can start an engine that is able to get 250 miles to the gallon what do you reflect?

Deep Sky — you’re gone the top. I be with you what you are adage. But, the best way to get them to shut up about global warming is to hit them where it hurts. Make these super-rich, like Laurie David, Sheryl Crow and Al Gore really go green. Don’t allocate them “carbon credits.” That’s bullsh!t. Make them really chat their carbon way to the level of the average self. They are the largest polluters, and a progressive logic would place the largest burdens on them, right? That’s the liberal line, isn’t it? Let’s do it!

Do I still have plenty of time to get an 8-cylinder sports car and get a good deal on it?

sob_125 questioned:

Unfortunately, it’s looking like SUVs and sports cars and additional vehicles with guzzle gas are inane to stop life made and no one’s gonna buy them any longer. I would much very have an 8-cylinder like a Camaro Z28 or a Firebird TransAM. All else force be switching to tiny, unsafe, wimpy Hybrid cars that can’t take a hit in a collison and take all day to go from 0 to 60.
I wouldn’t wanna be spellbound dead in one of those degrading, hideous vehicles that I find to be a joke. I would much have that 300+ HP from a Firebird or a Camaro. They look more cool, are much closer, and are a modest safer in case of an accident.

I hope the decreased sales will mean lower prices, not the additional way around.

Are Hybrid Cars a Viable Path into the Future?

dragonchips questioned:

With Nancy Pelosi visiting Yahoo answers, we heard of the stanchness to hybrids cars, a greener tomorrow, and the enviromental riddle. My question is to all of you, while hybrid cars are a excellent starting top, are they a real key? While they do recieve privileged gas mileage, must we be looking away from gasoline completely for a new key to a mobile potential source.

The wits why I question this is in view of the fact that I always hear what a splendid job we are doing by switching over, and yet our addiction on assets full from hostile territories, is each day rising. Are hybrids just an defense to Get out of the real come forth? Or can they be fit into a plot to wean ourselves away from our traditional sources.

I’d like to hear any view on the matter, or anything that force even be a viable uncommon key. Thankfulness!

What do you think of California’s new tax on hybrid vehicles?

johndoe3214 questioned:

The California administration has been wrestling with signing a fiscal proclamation for months now. They had to any cut must looked-for programs or bring to somebody's attention taxes. In view of the fact that the price of gas is draining the pocketbooks of many Californians it was stanch that those smallest amount affected by a gas tax hike would be hybrid car owners. So effectual January 1, 2008 all owners of hybrids will be taxed an bonus tear up a gallon. Really the way it will work is that when you buy gas at the pump the tear up per gallon will be included in the price. When you file your state income tax for 2008 in 2009 you will be agreed a credit for all the superfluous gas tax you paid in 2008 (with genteel documentation) apart from for those who have a hybrid registered in their name.
I would like your attitude on this bill SB98556. Be grateful you

Will the ultracapacitor mean increased fuel efficiency in america?

jadeotronic j questioned:

hybrids are costly, and they use batteries.

new ultracapacitors can rapidly store payment…energy and relief it….such systems may maybe be a lot more efficient when compiled with a battery…one logic in the news boasted a car with no use of fuel but the quick charging of an ultracapacitor.

If America Really wants to be free of all co2 emissions (which I don’t reflect causes global warming btw)….and also not be disadvantaged on oil..

Then what we would do is…..

build a huge nexus of nuclear reactors…that payment ‘modules’. from all the cars with this logic…which are in the end ultracapacitors compiled with a battery.

When you need a payment up…(an ultracapacitor can be exciting positively quick). you go to a ‘gas rank’ which has exciting up modules, and which you exchange. Battery gets you to places if you run out of payment in your ultracapacitor.

no need for fuel in cars….then gas is used for such equipment as heating, etc.
