right_on and westcoast, have either of you tried this or know of anyone that has? It does look too good to be true. Sure would like to hear from someone that has tried it. Na, can’t be true…energy from water?

mom2jack, you probably won’t see this, late to see this thread. I assume you live in Orygun, have you seen Smith’s t.v. ad, rated “right in the middle” and he’s bragging about that? I want a senator that has morals, convictions, principles similar to mine and will fight for them…not slide to the middle like Bush, McNasty and most the other repukicans have. Now wonder the party is dieing

In preparation for the fall campaign cycle, where can we get summaries of roll calls on energy related bills in the past 8 (16?)years. You know, the ones that would show the Dems voting against virtually every single bill that would have reduced our national dependence on foreign oil?

Is there a searchable database somewhere that lets one limit the bills to review to those related to a specific topic?

Dude that’s a brickbat waiting to be swung. This could be a killer for Republicans, could even gain them LABOR (millions of jobs await in drilling and bulding nukes).

MILLIONS.

Wind farms and oil wells go well together in the beautiful prairies of West Texas, out near Iraan and Bakersfield.

Beautiful Texas prairie, with wind mills and oil wells, energy, and profits, for Americans.

I agree.

We should also be looking at what the governor of Montana wants to do with converting coal to gas.

I also heard Glenn Beck mention the oil – shale possibilties.

This problem has been in the making for over thirty years (the Carter Era debacle). Neither the Republicans or the Democrats will EVER do anything about it, because the oil companies are carrying the pensions of millions of people, as I understand it.
The environmentalists are certainly part of the problem, but by following the money, I believe, we can come to a more logical conclusion than the disingenuousness and collusion of hundreds of legislators and aides – perhaps even ‘experts’. The most basically educated dweeb around can understand the law of supply and demand, if he is willing to listen with his brain and not someone else’s wallet! (except that idiot I heard today on Boortz)
Of course, I could be partially wrong, but I’m certainly not all wrong. I’ll do some more research anyway.

LOL Mister P, Logic to Democrats is like water to a cat.
Cats and water go well together. You just have to watch it as they scratch like hell while you hold them under.

Soap, to make a cat sound like a dog you just put it in the microwave on high & very soon you hear a woof

Finally, it’s nice to see some politicians make the effort to roll back some of this insane bureaucracy and move governmental obstacles out of our way so we can continue succeeding. In some sense, I wonder if liberals are just jealous that the average American can do so much to succeed without a hint of their help, which leads them to compensate by passing some nonsensical legislation just so they can attempt to take the credit for any good thing Americans do.

I believe there are alternative energy sources we could use, that simply are being forgotten. And not just for gasoline.

I may need some correction on this. Was there not a person in the 70’s that had a carborator (or something) that increased gas mileage to 50+ a gallon, or was that an urban legend? I know my parents talked about it, and i’ve heard it sporatically over the years. Maybe someone else can help with that.

Water powered engines? vegetable oil engines that seem to be a fad?

Yes, I think it was 100 MPG, and it was an urban legend.
