Nanker Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 2011 Car of the Year. Car of the YEAR, man. Car of the year! If President BO can't keep giving out $7,000 to every man, woman and sex-texting Congresscritter that wants to buy one of these gems, this is the next best thing. Maybe he can get a nice interest free loan for a few billion dollars from the jug-eared doofus with the $buck a gallon tax they'll be collecting so they can invent more suave autos that no one wants.

Dave_In_Norfolk Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Let's see....economy improving leads to higher energy costs which leads to slower economy...yes, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are right, we need alternative energy sources to create jobs, to have a stronger economy and to stop Global Warming. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. Don't forget higher MPG fuel standards - so we can drive further and feel good about buying more gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we supposed to power these things without coal plants. Without nuke plants. Maybe the eco activists will get Obama to start a program to put one of those big windmills like the ones through Altamont Pass in every persons back yard.

Sick part is that coal is now mined by lopping off mountain tops. Yet nuclear power is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's needed is a combination of technologies - chop off the mountain tops for the coal, then they won't glow in the dark from the nuke plants.

Listening to Adam Carolla the other day he came up with a interesting idea. Using the energy harnessed from pissing in urinals. Kinda like hydro electric power you tinkle into a little turbine thingy that generates power like a hamster running. He was thinking of powering a video game of some sort but I think with enough liquids consumed, a small fridge or maybe even lighting will be possible. Maybe the government can give us beer credits to help generate the excretions necessary to power all!! Edited June 12, 2011 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
