Why can't the government come up with a solid alternative fuel to gasoline?
This is a question that has probably been asked a million times over. As you all know gasoline prices are going up AGAIN and I can smell a gallon gasoline prices right around the corner. Even if the car companies start making nothing but 40 mpg hybrids this will still not solve the problem. While this might improve the environment it won’t improve gas prices since hybrid still rely on gas. If cars become more fuel efficient gas prices will just go through the roof. The people who can’t afford a new hybrid will be hugely affected. Can somebody please tell me why the government can’t come up with a solid alternative fuel to replace gasoline!!!! Is it because the Middle East will suffer when we take away their major export? Something tells me that’s the main reason.
I know everybody is for "lesser government" and doesn’t feel the government should be responsible for this. However, in the situation that we’re in any help from the government would be well-appreciated. Also, when I say "alternative fuel" I’m referring to something that can go in cars that run off gasoline. Either that or something that can run in gasoline cars with a few simple modifications.
Why can't an alternative fuel be legislated?
Legislation passed by the Senate requires broadcasters to end their traditional analog transmissions by Feb. 17, 2009, and send their signals digitally.
What is going on with the American government when they are willing to legislate digital tv signal transmission and not an alternative fuel system?
What is wrong with this picture?
I would select hydrogen power and invest the money invested in legislating digital cable (or going to the moon again) into large contracts to an american tech company to deliver a hydrogen fuel cell with mpg and energy to produce requirements to be delivered within 2010. I’d then give a major tax credit to the american auto makers for every unit sold AND another credit to any american consumer. Thus, giving the tech companies, auto makers, and the consumer reason to develop the tech. What’s wrong with the philosophy?
What is your opinion on these green facts?
Solar – 0k – 0k for entire house to be electrically independent
Prius – k for a 72hp compact car. Cut your mpg in 1/2 for groceries because it takes 2 trips to fit everything.
Speaking of groceries – 20% more for organic
Bamboo kitchen doors – 2 sq/ft vs. 2 sq/ft for oak
Now that’s some "green"!
