Yeah.. haha.. Visions people. Totally right. I never really thought about CNN being overrun and feeling free to publish the work of those people mixed in with their real news.
I have called "Visions" "Junk Science". Chicken littling it until they get heard and given some sort of grant that they can blow on a home outside of Denver. That place is loaded with them.
Check out www.dnai.com/~zap when you get a chance. Sylvester Christie is fuckin FREAK.

Dude, I've been trying to get a T-Rex here forever. The problem is that they are like buying a house. They build one and it kind of goes up on an auction. They sticker it out at $45k, but then you have to grease so many palms to actually get yours that it pushes way above $50k real fast.
Like buying a fucking house.

Come to think of it tho, Chicks may think your tango is cute, but too bad there isnt any room to bang.

They were invented by an independent no-namer and a guy from Bombardier.
No rappers were involved with this until the release of "Biker Boyz", when suddenly everyone knew about the same bike that's been in production for 7 years.
You can find a 1998 t-rex for about $14k. That's what they cost back then. Everyyear they go up.

they do a great job discussing why gas prices are going up.
as far as the tzero:
Pricing for the tzero will be set once production begins. We expect a price somewhere between a Porsche and a Ferrari. Our choice of pricing benchmarks is deliberate. It reflects 1) a reality, that the tzero matches the acceleration yet greatly exceeds the efficiency of those fantastic machines, and 2) an ambition that AC Propulsion can aspire in the 21st century to influence automotive engineering over the next 50 years the way those two great marques have set standards for engineering over the past 50 years.
i think i'm gettin another bike, hopefully not a repeat of last time though. lol.

If you were serious about living an efficient lifestyle, you would perform some power generation locally. Things like solar panels, batteries, even some kind of generator on the stream on your property. Shit, hook up a bike a generator or something.
Electric is nice because it's the only thing you can locally produce. Unless you have hot springs on your property.
Without that local generation though, you're just pissing in the wind. It takes fuel to make electricity - Even if you're talking about Nuclear or water power (With water running out in lots of places, it's not even definate much less infinite)
So unless you're all about the generation, whatever fuel you choose is the same as the next.
We need to get Las Vegas completely torn down, and use the Hoover dam to make, solely, power for the homes around Las Vegas and for trucking / train power grids. Manufacture hydrogen at the source, and then lay down the infrastructure along the major US cross-highways. About 15,000 Hydrogen refueling points.

uranium is still a depleteable source of energy. additionally, it leaves waste behind. what really should have been done is dumping money into cold fusion, rather then national defense and other programs. i mean, we are like 13th in the world in medical technologies. makes you wonder where we stand on other technology rankings.
fusion would be great. so would matter/anti-matter. but thats pretty far off.

If we generated hydrogen at 8 key US facilities, and trucked / trained it around the country - You could actually pull your car to the pumps, fill up, and when you're home you could power the house. Each car makes enough power for 2 people . But in order for that to happen, their would be one utilities company that controlled both your driving and your home electricity.
Local generation is the key.
That's why I'm now looking, since my engine project is back on the bench, at going methanol. Maybe I can produce my own.
