"The third paragraph in, the "study" ADVOCATES the same "lower your expectations" garbage that I've "
lol.... believe it or not they are trying to actually save the California tax payer millions and millions of dollars. If their study had simply said "hydrogen power is a joke and you are a bunch of idiots for trying to push it", it would have been ignored.
By slipping in suggestions which the enviroweenies have been pushing for, and NOT getting, it gives them more credibility. No one wants smaller cars, lower speed limits, or more conservation.
These things are all immensely unpopular with the public and indeed trends have been going in the opposite direction: larger SUV's, Higher speed limits, less conservation, despite pleas from the Sierra club.
You have to be sneaky if you want to win against the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club knows they can't win if they push for smaller cars, lower speed limits, and conservation. Thats why they are pushing for hydrogen power. It won't make much difference in pollution but it will cost millions and in so doing increase their clout in Sacramento.
You said; "They (Reason I assume) are trying to make Arnold's mystic belief system in Hydrogen and those other fantasies by the other idiots I referred to, "the lesser of two evils"
uh,,, no they aren't. I don't know how much more clear I can make it. They are AGAINST Arnold and his mystical belief in hydrogen. I know you posted the article, I just don't think you understand the article.
Reason and libertarians are AGAINST hydrogen power. Got it?
