Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County -- Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger was dogged by persistent protesters and hecklers Sunday, as he tried to seize the environmental mantle, proposing a $60 million "hydrogen highway" he said would provide a statewide chain of hydrogen fueling stations to help clean the air.

This sounds very efficient.

Both in terms of capital and efficiency, it's not.

[dinasour]

It isn't pretty

Funny how the whacko's always push for things that cannot work, and fight tooth and nail against anything that does.

You'd think that they where trying to destroy civilization or something.

[Carry_Okie]

In this case, the whackos include Arnold. He chose RFKJr to get this thing written. He owns this stupidity now.

Actually I wasn't QUITE as confused as I'd thought.

Your reply related to Arnold's greenie policy. And that makes sense IN THAT the thread is led off by a fuel-cell-car article.

But my "Cruz is worse" post, specifically, came in response to one mentioning gay adoption and abortion.

I do think that Arnold is substantially less lefty than Cruz on those issues, as with most issues, even if Tom is vastly better.

There is no substantive difference between Arnold's positions on the environment and those of Gray Davis or Cruz Bustamante. In analyzing the document, I have yet to find a single attribute I haven't heard coming out of the left.

I heard somewhere that to convert California completely to Hydrogen powered vehicles, the electricity equivalent from 55 new nuclear power plants would be needed to produce the fuel.


>>>No, it's not cheaper. You need to add significant amounts of energy to get the hydrogen. The rest of your understanding is correct, but there are many more issues with implementing hydrogen than just its efficiency.

[BurbankKarl]

Was that when the injuns were handing over the suitcases of casino money?

>>Arnold's boys were heckling McClintock just the other day...

[pogo101]

It's going to take me awhile to reach an informed opinion on the environmental issue.

[Carry_Okie]

Sounds about right. They never talk about what they'll do with all the carbon deposits resulting from the process either.

There is no substantive difference between Arnold's positions on the environment and those of Gray Davis or Cruz Bustamante.

And most other issues, for that matter.
