Another stealf tax system in place, we are starting a new transisition from a fossil fuel age to an electric age, purely because the supply of oil is comming to an end.
It wont be long before you drive an electric car and pay per mile this is the only way i can see them keeping there high revenue that will replace fuel taxes.

Offcourse if there is a mini ice age in the near future it is easy to cover their story by saying it's because the carbon trust has worked.

Sharing what you know is what is important. There is no controversial subject that should go unchallenged and the more debate the better as long as that debate stays based in truth and facts. Facts however, are not verified through wikipedia. or a conspiracy theorists web site or radio show. My argument against  pollutants being spewed in the atmosphere verses clean sources of energy generation remains unchallenged. So I ask once again, how should we pay for the right thing to do.

Dave:

What do you mean your argument remains unchallenged?  It was not only challenged, it was overwhelmed by facts in my opinion.  The thing you do not seem to realize is that all of the other "alternatives" also depend on oil as well.  Some say windmills, well, try making the generators and the plastic for them and the electronics without oil.  Electric cars...great until we need to plug them in and the need for electric power quadruples, where does that come from?  No generation of energy is "clean".  None at all.  The thing is to balance the use of multiple forms for the most efficient and economically feasible energy as possible.  Even my earth battery requires materials that used oil to manufacture.

I am all for lessening our dependence on oil but to think that we can outlaw anything that requires oil is not realistic thinking. (I am speaking more to our current government's policies here Dave, not your opinions)

In furtherance to an earlier reference...as moderator of this forum, only the disruptive posts and inflammatory comments have been deleted or edited.

All opinions respectfully expressed are welcome.

Regarding global warning, I believe it was determined that geothermal activity was responsible for the shrinking arctic icecap.

Whereas the antarctic remains the same as it ever was.

this is old data re: the 'warming globe', but since this topic has turned into a discussion of such i thought i might bring it back up.


"you may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s. for your interest, i have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. as you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature."

i think this pretty much solves it, how bout you guys?
