If they're really interested in saving the planet, why don't they make more fuel efficient tires that require less (or zero) oil to make? Why did they kill the electric car in the 60's, 70's and 80's? Why is it that every major car company has now created vehicles that run on hydrogen but are not allowed to put the vehicles on the market?

How did we exit the last 5 ice age's if there were no humans to cause the earth to warm up? I heard somewhere that the sun was somewhat warm but I think it's bull**** right-wing garbage.

Water isn't going anywhere, unless obama signs an executive order...
Now with 7 billion people all needed vast amounts of it. So your point is not a real point at all.

Transfer of fresh water from lakes to oceans would be a bad thing.

And neither of you argued his statement, that is true, and instead brought up human population. If you think this planet can only sustain a few billion, you're nuts.

They aren't blaming this on usage and that would be another issue altogether.

The planet could sustain a high amount, but would they be happy?

His point is correct. Water is recycled, the water you drink is millions of years old. 7 billion people drink it, urinate, evaporate, condense, you then redrink, die, dehydrate, evaporation, condense, your kids drink you.

perhaps because the populace at large doesnt want them. they have limited range and long recharge times.

who says hydrogen powered vehicles are not allowed to be sold? no one has them on the market because there is NO infrastructure to handle them.
