Global Warming: Yes, No, Dunno

[Baker]

If everyone drove electric cars, they'd be safe! But I wonder if electric cars are practical/efficient for shipments (trucks). Hmmmm ...

Everything I've ever read about ethanol says it doesn't burn cleanly enough for any kind of engines, sort of like burning sugar.

I saw something on some guy who had the idea of cars running on compressed air. Of course, that can EXPLODE.

Or maybe we should create an atmosphere around the moon and start over?

They need to tow Mars into orbit around the Earth Mars is too damn inconvenient, they need to make it closer.

Sure, if we could create a green moon then atleast it would be a good test for Mars. (it might take 100,000 years but....)

if Electric vehicles ran on TRACKS/Rails then there could be enough JUICE on the interstate to drive trucks. City streets would just use small cell engines.

The only thing about terraforming the Moon is that it would lose its reflectability. Needless to say, there would not be any moonlight on the Earth anymore. As a matter of fact, the Moon would be much harder to see.

then imagine doing it twice a day, every day, for 40 years (average working span), and you have an impression of the impact of a typical american on the environment

You want impact? There are too many people that really don't care either way. It's a lazy attitude where "someone else will do it". It's a shame to say it but it's true. We can talk smack all day long but there's not enough people willing to do anything about it.

Same thing with gasoline. They will complain if the price of gas goes up but there's nothing that can or will be done about it. They will still buy it and still drive. As far as I'm concerned I can ride a bike. Maybe that's what we need, no more gasoline. Make everyone ride a bike. Maybe that'll shape up some of these fatties.

Let's burn all the gasoline.
