Hydrogen is no more flammable than LPG, Gasoline, or Natural Gas.

The only thing entirely predictable about Dems is that they will be contrary, and on the wrong side of every argument that puts America first.

What's good is bad. What's bad is good. What's up is down. What's down is up. As a result what's good for America is bad for them.

And President Bush is always wrong, and at fault for everything, but not to be credited if the converse happens.

Just think backwards and you start to understand them.........though that can be somewhat unsettling.

We had two stations in town where they lowered the price to 2.09 where everyone else was at 2.29 or higher and it caused traffic congestion and tons of near accidents.

If they had gone any lower below market, people would have been fist fighting to get in line for that gas.

Just shows that supply and demand and pricing as the natural allocator of each, works everytime it is tried.

He's a clever guy that Rove, isn't he? (But maybe he just talks with Jefferson and Madison in the White House, kinda like Hillary did with Eleanor Roosevelt and didn't even need a time machine).

And don't forget that he also scheduled the hurricane season to be light during an election year.

Evil genius that he is......

Actually, hydrogen has one safety factor over natural gas: it burns straight up, not sideways. That's why there's so much fear about an LNG tanker explosion--it will take out things hundreds of feet away from the point of the explosion.

"Just think backwards and you start to understand them.........though that can be somewhat unsettling."

IMO, Todays Liberal Dems are much like the NAZI'S in 1945 Berlin.....

The entire world is collapsing in around them, everything they believed to be true has been exposed as a lie, thier leadership is in the bunker(or the $10 million dollar masion, in this case), and these are the last few desperate fanatics, trying to hold off the tide long enough for the "Wonder Weapon" to save them...

SEIG HEIL!
ABORTION UBER ALLES!!

believe what you like
and when you're on that road and the station you pull into charges you fifty cents a gallon more than the other station you just passed before you ran out of gas, keep telling yourself you're not getting gouged! LMAO

It's just a case of reverse gouging.

According to www.gasbuddy.com, the average price of regular unleaded in Denver is $2.79 The average price of regular unleaded in state of NJ is $2.52. There is only a 25 cent difference.

Ah, I get it. Oil will run out, but Natural gas won't.

It would make far more sense to use the natural gas than to inefficiently break the natural gas into hydrogen. In other words, you're advocating using _MORE_ natural gas than otherwise required to move a vehicle X distance down the road per given unit volume of natural gas.




It's all a stepping stone. How would it be to extract hydrogen from H2O? Final solution!

So I didn't have a choice to go to the other station? They conspired to locate the higher priced station where I would stop for gas? Those bastards. So would I have been screwing them over if I would have stopped at the first station and paid fifty cents less?

Believe what I like? Like the definition of a term (price gouging) you're using incorrectly? I'll take a page out of your book: WTF?

You guys emit a loud grudge for oil execs and their evil children. While you're beating up on American Big Oil, tell me about how you're beating up on the WORLD Oil Futures traders for all the summer speculation.

Since they're anonymous traders, they don't get a target pasted to their foreheads.

Just like WalMart and Home Depot get slammed while Harbor Freight and Ace Hardware do the same things under the bitching-and-moaning radar.

It's still $2.30. I think $1.35 is a fair price.

May I add interest rates are higher on very heavily leveraged future contracts? The cost of money to speculate is much higher and you can now get better gains with equity speculation.

I think $12 per share is a fair price for Dell stock.
