    Air-
    You are probably correct. Only time will tell.
    The smallest cars and hybrids made by all of the car companies will become
    their best selling cars if the cost of gasoline rises to $4.00 per gallon.
    I would keep my Accord since I rarely drive it long distances.

    And don't forget the Turbo Diesels offered by Volkwagen.

    50mpg Highway is not bad at all for a diesel VW Jetta or Golf. The new
    Jeep Liberty Diesel is selling so fast that none of the dealerships can
    keep one on the show floor.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the 5 states that banned the new turbo
    diesels would lift the emmisions requirments in order to make the
    diesel alternative available to the public in California, New York,
    Massachusets, Vermont, and Maine.

    The advantage to the diesels is that they get better MPG on the Highway
    while the gas/electric hybrids get their best MPG in the stop and go.
    Now market a car that is a diesel/electric hybrid and now your talking!
    It's been on the drawing boards for years, just never actually done.

    Or who knows, like you said only time will tell. I've got a feeling
    those nuclear batteries are going to save us.

    I have not read yet read about those nuclear batteries but will do so if
    an article appears about them in Car and Driver magazine or Popular
    Mechanics magazine--I subscribe to both of them. I have read a lot about
    the hydrogen fuel cells and it's obvious that it's a stupid idea. They are
    not cost effective. It takes huge amounts of energy to produce a fuel
    cell. I'm sure that someone will disagree with me.

  5. Jason, For your information the Nuclear Batteries are only a concept
    that I was introduced by world renouned psychic "Sylvia Brown". She
    regularly appears on the Montel Williams show.

    The Nuclear Batteries are mearly an idea that was brought forth through
    "Metaphysics". Sylvia believes that at this very moment there are
    Aliens out there that have been observing us. Since the very begining.
    At some time in the future they will step in and introduce Nuclear
    Batteries for our motorized transportation as a replacement for the
    Internal Combustion engine. Since burning fossil fuels to survive
    becomes too problematic so much to say the least.

    Go check out the "Metaphisics" section at your local Barnes and Nobels
    or Borders book store. Sylvia Brown has a host of books that she's
    already sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

    Research it and take it for what it's worth. I personaly take most of
    her preaching as truth/prophecy. It only makes so much sense what she
    writes about. And deep down inside I know that what she brings forward
    to the public is the truth.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the information. Now I understand why I have not seen any articles
    about the Nuclear Batteries in "Car and Driver" and "Popular Mechanics".
    I was shocked that there were no posts indicating that hydrogen fuel cells
    are the solution to all of the world's problems. Many liberals that hate
    oil and gas seem to believe that hydrogen fuel cells will take the place
    of gasoline in the years to come. Those people don't realize that lots
    of energy (such as from coal fueled power plants) needs to be used to
    produce hydrogen fuel cells.

  8. Most liberals I know think conservation is the most effective
    solution. After that, renewable sources such as solar and wind. They
    are pretty skeptical about hydrogen - even more so after Bush gave it
    a big endorsement. I don't think they are going to go for nuclear
    batteries ;-]

    I agree. The liberals in both houses of Congress would NEVER allow
    nuclear batteries to be produced. Perhaps they should use a different
    name for them such as "green battery" or "Enviromental Battery". That's
    why they use terms like "No Child Left Behind" on the bills. They knew
    that no one would vote against a bill entitled, "No Child Left Behind"
    even if it was a stupid bill.

  10. I assume you mean politicians not liberals use terms like "No Child
    Left Behind" on the bills. That term is a Bush initiative.

    Some other gems from Bush/GOP:

    The Clear Skies Initiative allows coal plants to delay installation of
    emissions control equipment.

    The Patriot Act allows government to spy on you.

    The Healthy Forest Initiative allows more logging.

    The Republicans and Democrats--liberal or conservative--use that trick.
