1. "Gas-guzzler" is a perjorative term.

No, it is descriptive.

It is accurate in many cases, not so in others.

For example, a 5 ton SUV driven to the grocery store for a bottle of milk
is guzzling gas. The same vehicle, used to haul large heavy objects over
unfavorable terrain, is not. The difference is in utility.

Would you be so kind as to name the make and model of any 5 ton SUV?

2. I never claimed everyone wants to drive a vehicle that is less gas-
efficient than other vehicles.

Correct.
But you did claim that those who do not want to drive an inefficient
vehicle were stupid.


3. Your statement refutes nothing I've ever posted.


Actually, it refutes everything you've posted and also points out your own
stupidity & close mindedness.



The FACT that oil is a non-renewable resource




Nobody has brought this up, but now that you have, I must ask why you're
opposed to finding more

Why do you assume I am opposed to finding more?
Another stupid non-fact posted by you.


... since doing so would keep all energy more affordable.


Clue- oil is non-renewable. No matter how much exploration is done, we
will run out eventually.

When we, everyone on the entire planet, start to really run out of oil we
will be forced to find other means of producing energy and goods from oil.
But, until that time we will continue to drill, pump and burn oil. There is
not economic incentive to switch away from oil, there is only an emotional
desire on the part of some.

A very smart scientist... who made a lot of money in the oil business...
named King Hubbert worked out the math of global oil supply a long time
ago.

Really? I thought that the supply of oil was going to run out in 30 years,
with the clock startign to click in the late 1970's. I guess that we only
have a couple of years worth of oil left.

Google up the words "Hubbert peak"

Of course, you haven't liked any of the FACTS introduced into this thread
so far, and you won't like these FACTS either because they prove you're
wrong.

Ice age. Global warming. What's next.
