Harry, I am curious. Why are you starting all this political crap
again?




Gas prices impact boating in a serious way. Ignore at your peril.

But if you really want to talk about what to do about gas prices and
the environment and you want to do it today, why don't you mention
stuff like butanol. There are new ways to make it, it's 100%
interchangable with gasoline, has a lower evaporative factor than
gasoline or ethanol, produces only CO2 (green CO2) and water from
combustion, will run in a gasoline engine with no modifications, has
higher octane than most gasoline (108), can be produced from surplus
crops and with the new compound fermentation process, can easily be
produced for about $1.03/gallon.


OR possibly Bio Diesel? Made from vegetable oil, burns cleaner and is a
renewable source of energy. With turbo diesel you don't pay a penalty in
HP, just weight..




Let's focus on a viable alternative and forget the political posturing,
huh?


Agree - I was reading an article about a company that developed a
nanotechnology product, that is a dielectric conductor. By mixing with
paint your whole house becomes a solar cell. Much cheaper than solar cells
and easier to apply. Think this product will ever make it to the market????
