		<description>Vector 256: #93

Your five Step Program is excellent!  But there are a few Steps you&#039;ve left out:

6) Any who resist relocation to cities go to labor camps in cold, arid areas.

7) ANY production of CO2 must be outlawed.  This would first require making soda, beer and wine illegal.  And to eliminate the exhalation of human CO2, absorbent masks must be worn in public at all times.*

8 It will be allowable to purchase a second child at a rate tied to a multiple of aggregate commodity food costs and  a derivative of CO2 credit costs.

* Masks to be manufactured by Shortbreth LLC. a division of Algor Enterprises.</description>

		<description>CNG is good but no one tunes a motor to it. It needs 11:1 or more compression. Better still would be 14:1</description>

		<description>NG is a polluting fossil fuel that just rised to $1.70/therm in Portland.  Compressed NG has to also be, well, compressed.  There are many docks that have &quot;NO CNG&quot; plates to avoid terrorist targets since the US still insists on importing the gas (I assume from Canada, but I&#039;m not exactly sure where it is imported from, but it is shipped down the rivers of the NW). 

Why I would be okay if it happened: It is better than oil, especially oil imported from countries that cause political unrest like Venezuela and the middle east.

Why I don&#039;t want it to suceed: It still conttributes to global warming and I don&#039;t have enough trust in the car companies to use this as a temporary alternative while the car is being electrified.  Plus, biofuels are more net zero, home grown and will not intefer with home heating costs (and no, the cost of food is going up because of shipping cost, not biofuels!!!).</description>

		<description>Well, I made it to #6, and just had to post my thoughts..

I agree, we need to get off of fossil fuels, and Natural Gas IMO not an option.  Why?  I called my utility company, and got the skinny on my current bill.  Our Natural gas bill has gone up 80%.......  I don&#039;t want to spend an arm and a leg, and now my 1st and 2nd born child to fuel my car, come on guys,  For those who live down south where you don&#039;t use Natural Gas, consider yourself lucky!</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s put it all together.

1) No nuclear power, PERIOD. Using nuclear power should be a capital crime, punishable by death.

2) No burning ANYTHING - no CNG, no E85, no hydrogen, no gasoline, no diesel. If heat is needed, use electricity.

3) One child per family, enforceable by forced abortion - NO exceptions. There are too many people demanding energy. Further decreases in population would also be caused by normal accidents and violent crime. 

4) Only wind or solar power production should be allowed - any production of energy that produces carbon dioxide should be illegal. 

5) Forced relocation to cities should be allowed. Instead of inefficient surburban sprawl, cities can easily be serviced by electrically powered mass transit. 

The need for private ownership of motor vehicles would end. (You could still own a car as a museum piece, after the destruction of the drive train has been certified by the government). By using the above steps, we would be well on our way to a bright, enviromentally-sustainable future. 

There are always those who care more about themselves than the enviroment. The goverment would have re-education centers where the mental problems of these people could be addressed, so they could be cured of their self-centered view of the world. After all, not caring about the enviroment is ultimately suicidal - and suicidal people need help. 

There&#039;s only one man I would trust with ther fate of our enviroment and our country - Obama. No oil, no blood for oil, no nukes, and no C02 - let&#039;s get back to nature again and use renewable solar, wind, and tidal power. Our lives depend on it.

President Obama in 2009 !  Obama ! Obama ! Obama ! Obama ! Obama !</description>
