So, let me put it to everybody this way, our "Present" and his cronies believe in 100 mpg carburators, and if you don't then you don't know what's good for you!
BTW, you guys did follow the threads where I pieced together the links between Obama's energy department's alternative energy sources and the fellows in that program who've been working with Rossi for decades ~ right? The Italians just arrested a bunch of mafioso in Sicily who've been suppressing alternative energy researchers and programs in Italy and Sicily so they could boost sales of windmills ~ because, lo and behold, they were extorting money out of the windmill makers and the power companies who use windmills. Some don named Dino in fact!
One of the more apparently outrageous claims Rossi ever made was the mafia actually tried to put him out of the alternative energy business.
Well, I guess maybe they did ~ and I continue to have suspicions of involvement with the mafia on the part of some of Rossi's detractors on these threads. Doesn't mean he's right, but he certainly must have been a mafia target if anyone was!
I thought mafia targets ended up floating face down Jamaica bay. 0bama’s cafe standards are trying to repeal the first law of thermodynamics. Not going to happen. Only way to get that is to make the vehicles ridiculously light or horribly underpowered or both. There is only a limited amount of energy in a gal of gasoline, and the second law says you can only get a certain fraction of it as useful work. Mandating absurdly high mileage standards is like passing a law to repeal gravity. You can pass the law, but gravity is still going to be there.
