For Those Dems Who Claim Bush Is Owned By Big Oil

[Todd-'o'-Vision]

The Clinton administration (including "Mr. Green Schemes" Al Gore) implemented a plan for high-mileage cars. Their billion dollar program called for the auto industry to develop cars that would get up to 70 miles a gallon by use of lighter alloys and more efficient engines. Well, the Bush administration has announced plans to scrap the Clinton plan and push to develop new cars using hydrogen fuel-cell technology, instead. This is the only sane long-term idea because this takes us completely away from dependence on foreign oil...AND domestic oil. The only byproduct of hydrogen fuel-cells is environmentally-friendly water. And one of the ways to get hydrogen is from natural gas – something we have an abundance of – and it appears that fuel-cell cars could be on the market in as little as 5-10 years. This is a brilliant political, economic, and even national security move on Bush’s part. It trumps the Dems on the issues of Big Oil and ANWR, it completely changes our politics toward the Middle East, it sparks a new technology boom which could spur the economy, and it even succeeds environmentally where Al Gore failed...bringing an end to the internal combustion engine...and that, friends, will have OPEC shaking in their boots.

Don’t look for Bush to get any credit for this though. That just wouldn’t be politically correct.

I always thought hydrogen was made from salt water when an electrical current was introduced then the water would boil and the gas would be collected and burned also it is the safest burning gas we have

Believe it when I see it... the results, that is.

In the meantime, why doesn't anyone have the balls to hold pick-ups, mini-vans, SUVs and all other "trucks" accountable to the same stringent fuel emission standards as automobiles?

It's not a Dem vs Rep thing... it's government not doing right by the public. After the oil crisis of the early seventies, we should have learned... in thirty years, nothing was done.

I applaud the initiative but forgive me if I'm sceptical... where's the Bush counter-proposal to Kyoto?

I remmember the oi crisis the problem there the government wanted more money so they started the crisis. The problem we have is the people we voted in office all they do is see who has the biggest dick. the republicans have a god complex andthe demos. think we are not gods but better. when all they should be doing is work together as a group instead of partys.

Bush isn't owned by big oil, he is a part of it, as he says when he addresses his rich white male friends ..... my kind of people. What is so clear about G.W. is that he so very directly represents the rich and his good ole boy network.
