Not at all AJ, PETA is the globalwarmingactivsts , proabortion, anticapitalist,guncontrol, anti wto , hate bush, crowd, hence my statement "twin sons of different mothers" gussler! Now PETA can have one more reason not to breed cows, not only should we not eat them but they cause globalwarming!

Cows give off as much CO2 as all the vehicles on the road...

Also, the reason the US and Australia didn't sign the kyoto protocol was partly due to it not being strict on developing nations such as china, india, etc.

you will be waiting a long time if you think Algore will back peddle, he is a true believer, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary he will only try to discredit his opposition, thats why we love the big stump!

Bunch of ship-wrecked men all clinging to the same bit of flotsam, each reassuring the others that a ship will come by and spot them soon. The energy-ROI of gasoline was 100-to-1 in the 1950's. Today, it's 25-to-1 and falling. Handwriting's on the wall, boys. You can read it or ignore it. Which do you think would the smarter thing to do...

We will really wish we did in 10 years or less, except for those who already realize we should have done it.

I suggest we restructure our industrial economy to use nuclear energy as the primary power source for both production and transportation. This would eliminate our dependence on such unstable countries as Mexico and Canada for our foreign oil fix. I would also create the opportunity for tremendous profit for the companies that would implement the new construction and a higher standard of living for the workers building the facilities. We need to assert our independence by freeing our country by changing our energy sources.

PS - I wonder why silas has such a fixation on Al Gore?
