Oh good grief... what's the matter with these 'tards???

Don't they read my posts???

If I've said it once, I must've said it a THOUSAND times:

"We need ELECTRICALLY powered passenger rail.
And more nuclear power plants so we don't have to kowtow to the OPECkers."

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... I know that I must sound like a broken record sometimes...
But one of these days, you're ALL gonna be thankful that I kept up the fight!

Forget electricity, hooking cows up with tubes to capture the methane gas they emit would solve the energy crisis and global warming. :)

Electric passenger might work in a limited areas but it has already been tried and discarded nationwide. Electric freight is impossible because of long distances and need for a whole new electrical grid like passenger electric would require. Who would pay for this Utopian dream. I already owe over $150,000 that I did not get to vote on. Taxation without representation is tyranny.

Just another source of natural gas . . . .

This is where they are headed...

>> We need ELECTRICALLY powered passenger rail.

Passenger rail IS electrically powered... diesel electric.

Coal trains went out ages ago.

I didn’t see in the article just how it is “cow supplied” fuel. Are they rendering unused cow parts for biodiesel?

Next thing they’ll do is subsitute humans for cattle.

Most locomotives do not burn #2 they burn heavy fuels which are cheaper. We are talking about 6MW of electrical power. That is enough power for thousands of homes. I can imagine the technical problems of running the wire needed to power the train and how are you going to get it connected to the train in the first place. Not practical green willy

....Maybe the "Methane Express".....?

This is just a stunt. If we’d drill for our own oil, the price of diesel would drop by a factor of two on the open market, and biodiesel would be a curiosity.
