![]() Why can't they just float away already?
Sorry to you guys in the peoples... no wait, the tree huggers republic of kalifornia but this is absurd BS. No smoking, regulation of vehicles more than any other state, control of peoples life in full. What a bunch of tools. |

![]() Yeah. I understand power usage is a serious issue, but c'mon! I read today that activists are trying to ban horse carriage rides in NYC's Central Park.
I have an idea! Let's ban the cars, TV's and horses. Then, we'll all be able to walk to the grocery store. Wait! Where did all the food go? Sorry, gonna have to walk to Florida for those tomatoes.

![]() The truly funny part of all of this? LCD screens use about 60% less energy than CRT monitors. But, let's not let details get in the way.

![]() Seems like the 130 that its going to cost the state would offset the need to do this sort of thing? Doesn't make sence to me. Iam all for conserving energy but if its going to cost that much you've got to be asking yourself, is it worth it?

![]() these would be the same idiots who want to tear down dam's, shut down nuclear power plants and halt all coal fired power plant construction then have everyone drive plug in electric cars.

Also, as "Old Growth Forest" is not nearly as densely wooded as the way they plant trees nowadays - 2-1/2 acres couldn't be more than 60-80 trees. When you have over 15-20 "naturally caused forest fires" that destroy 75,000-odd (or more) acres per fire each year in the US alone, that kinda makes this "carbon footprint" thing out to be complete and utter bullshyte. Forget completely the fact that the average active Volcano (452 Volcanoes in the "Ring of Fire", but not all are active, of course) emits about 3-times Mankind's entire "carbon emissions" each year...........

Unfortunately there would be no way to recharge those electric cars as the vast majority of electricity comes from coal.

Yes, terrible blot upon the face of the Planet, those coal-fired plants (the two fly-ash bin accidents in TN last month notwithstanding). Just like using Anhydrous Ammonia for Refrigeration - all these dangerous killers should be banned and destroyed, and the people who operate them tried and summarily executed. /sarcasm
