Have you ever been to Brazil, cowboy? It ain't all it's cracked up to
be. They use alchohol for fuel, yes, but you can't breathe the air.
Rio and San Paulo both have so much foul air that it makes your throat
hurt and your eyes water and sting. Besides, there ain't enough corn
in all of the earth to keep us going.


first, how recent is your information on Brazil?? If not in the past decade,
it is completely impertinent to the discussion. Second, all ethanol need not
come from corn
(and, yes, there is a hell of a lot of it,but maybe not enough), sugar cane
comes to mind at the top of a list of a few hundred products which can be
distilled to produce it.

You are correct, but Dave is correct also. It might work for Brazil,
but at the current efficiency there isn't enough corn/sugar cane/etc
to supply a country like the US.

Boy, I was thinking the opposite when GW won for the first time ("won" in
quotes). I thought "Well, how much damage can he do?"

What worries me is that this arrogant, incompetent, ignorant,
increasingly desperate bozo has another 33 months in office.

The guys approval rating just fell to 32%, so he's officially lower than
Carter now. My bet is that the environment is too partisan now for him to
get much closer to Nixon's record -- but I think he's going to make a go
for it!

Gas prices are high, but they are high worldwide. Get the Dems to
allow drilling off of California and Alaska and the price of gas
would go down. Take away the last fed gas tax ($.50/gallon) voted
in by Al Gore when the Senate was dead-locked at 50/50, and your gas
would be alot cheaper. I don't know about your math, but that would
be $12 less a tank where I buy gas. Ya think those folks at WM you
are so concerned about could find something to do with that $12?


Hmmmm....if you're paying .50/gallon or more Federal gas tax, you
must be special. The latest figures I can find have the fed gas tax
at .184/gallon. What did I miss, Dave? When did Al Gore increase the
Fed gas tax by fifty cents a gallon?

I don't know about your math and ....errr...I don't think you do
either BSEG

Yeah, I didn't quite understand that math either. In most states, the
state tax exceeds the fed.

Add the two together and you get close to that $.50 figure.

Oh, BTW, the federal tax on gasoline more than tripled (that means "times
3", Dave) from 4 cents per gallon in 1982 to 14.1 cents per gallon in 1991.
I believe that Mr. Reagan and Mr. Bush (the smart one) held the veto power
during this period of time. Mr. Gore was too busy inventing the internet to
cast any deciding votes in a 50/50 split congress at the time.

Hopefully it is funny, or hopefully you wish Bush was dead? You can't
*possibly* hate *anyone* that much, can you?

I could/can! It hasn't seemed to bothered him a bit that tens of thousands
of Afghan and Iraqi civilians have died to satisfy his lust for the almighty
dollar.

I guess stagflation doesn't scare you.

Many years ago we (the US) gave up on nuclear power. It can be safe
(France gets much of their power from nuclear), yet politicians say
no. These same pols say no to wind power when it's in their state
near their summer palaces. There are numerous ways we can use nature
to suplement our use of fossil fuels, but we will get nowhere with the
Dems/Repubs in both houses. Use of the tides, wind, corn for fuel,
and other alternatives will never happen until it is too late. We
should be building hydro power dams, nuclear reactors, and drilling
for oil where we have yet to drill. Then, and only then, can we be
energy independent. The US is too large a country to expect
conservation to work to any degree. Food has to move from Cal and Fla
to the east and mid-west, people do not live near their employment and
must drive their cars to work. Mass transit is a joke in most places.
Plus, consider all the pick-up trucks/vans, delivery trucks, etc.
doing business in your town. They can't do it on corn.
