Yep - we are waiting.

It is true Sol that Ford has belatedly done some htings. But their press releases to not equate to cars in the show-room.

I’ll likely be in the market for a vehicle in the not-too-distant future. IF Ford has a product I will examine it. The last time I bought a new car they made the long list but not the short list. We’ll see what they offer me next time.

Ford Earns Energy Star Award
Through our innovative programs, we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Ford Dagenham’s Eco-Efficient Vision Pays Off
Producing diesel engines at our wind-powered Dagenham plant is saving 6,500 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from entering the atmosphere and diverting over 12,600 tons from being sent to a landfill.

Fumes-to-Fuel
Paint fumes are turned into clean electricity in our “paint shop of the future.”

Soy-Based Foam
Replacing petroleum-based materials with soy-based materials helps lessen our dependence on foreign oil.

I’ll believe it when it is in the show-rooms.

“Ford Testing 120mpg Plug-In Hybrid SUV”

I am not playing a game. Out of control government bueaurocrats piss me off. Out of control Presidents do to, and BUsh is one, so don;t try and paint this as partisan.

Bremby is a government official. If he wants to step up to the plate for the environment, fine. You can argue that it’s his job. I probably wouldn;t disagree. But if he does so, he needs to do so witht he science and the numbers. not feel good platitutdes. That’s his job. He hasn;t even proposed new regulations as regards carbon emissions. So how can anyone know if they are following the regulations when they start the regulatory process?

Ford: $4 gas through ‘09 = more losses

Gas prices are causing consumers to shun pickups and SUVs. CEO: ‘It seems to us we reached a tipping point.’

KsFarmgrrl- I unfortunately agree that music will often move people to act where facts will not. My whole point was that Bremby is supposed to be acting on fact, which he refused to elaborate on.

But, have a great day. I have no argument with those that don;t want the plant built. More power to you if you can what you wish for.

***********************************

Umm, I already stated my support of that. At the most, one bill, with one vote to override the veto was sufficient. After that, all theater butter for the popcorn of those who are interested in partisan politics

But I DO know about water. And, as you well know, THAT is my issue about Holcomb. Find someone else to debate the science with. And I’ll let the courts figure out if Bremby acted legally.

As promised… Joni Mitchell.

And, as noted, SCIENCE isnt going to get the public involved in protecting their own environment.

Which is why I keep posting John Prine and Joni Mitchell….

Do I think it’s a good thing that folks are swayed more by music than science? No. But that’s how it is. Trust me. All the facts in the world made NO difference regarding the rape of Cedar Bluff.

But and emotional slap in the face will get them to PAY ATTENTION. They can THEN see the facts and make up their own minds. Maybe you dont work that way, but my experience has been, the general voting public does.

sol - a problem with hydrogen: where do we get it?

The basic system consists of two parts, the Hydrogen fuel system in your vehicle, and a Hydrogen generating system that remains in your garage. The Hydrogen generator is either powered by Solar electric panels or a wind turbine set-up, either of which makes Hydrogen fuel at virtually no cost.

You wanna take a shot go ahead. Please provide the numbers or the science that says what amount of carbon emissions is acceptable and what is not.
If your position is that none are acceptable, just say so. Then please explain why other industries should not live by the same standards (at least new industries)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_gas

1850s Every small to medium sized town and city had a gas plant to provide for street lighting. Subscribing customers could also have piped lines to their houses. By this era, gas lighting became accepted. Gaslight trickled down to the middle class and later came gas cookers and stoves.

“It’s not that Bremby or anyone else wont explain it.”

Please provide a link to his explanation that is anything other than “it’s bad for humans”

I’m gonna hunt down Joni Mitchell singing “paved paradise, put up a parking lot” next.

“When I die let my ashes, roll down Smoky Hill River, let’em roll all the way to Cedar Bluff Dam.”

Except… the river doesnt run anymore to Cedar Bluff.

And I’d hate to be stuck on a sand bar for eternity… heheheheh!
