My 1999 5.4L Ford Expedition FI, weight is 50% more than the Corvette got 14.5 mpg or less around town and 16.5 mpg max on the highway.

Asslicker once again shows why he is the "king of NG idiots" Most of the weight taken from current production is derived fom reducing the load.........thinner sheet metal, unibody construction instead of frames, shaving fractions of ounces off of every part in the car.......like springs and brackets in the brake system, plastic instead of metal parts, etc etc. What does that mean? Door dings from the slightest touch, higher and more frequent repair costs. More deaths from lighter weight vehicles |

We would have a depression at least as big as 1929. Oh, please. I BEG you. Show me ONE piece of literature that says anything of the sort. That's a stretch even for YOU. Why would there be a depression? There may be some down time involved, because the government would rather put it's money into plodding along with the same old technology (fossil fuels), rather than fund research and development of a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=new%20technologies" onmouseover="window.status='a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=new%20technologies" onmouseover="window.status='a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=new%20technologies" onmouseover="window.status='a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=new%20technologies" onmouseover="window.status='new technologies'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"new technologies/a'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"new technologies/a'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"new technologies/a'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"new technologies/a. But, there would be new firms working on new ways to do things. Was there a depression as big as 1929 when there was a previous oil shortage? Do you not think there are modern safeguards in place to protect us against that, even IF it were to happen? Yes, I'd be employed. There would be just as much work designing new, more energy efficient buildings. There would be a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=new%20technologies" onmouseover="window.status='new technologies'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"new technologies/a sprouting up to meet energy requirements using alternative means. A novel idea, our economy could suffice on NEW technology. The right wing just wants to keep us in the dark ages, as always. Hell, when motor cars first started appearing, people NEVER thought they'd replace the horse. Especially on farms. How many horses do you see on working, profitable farms today? As I said, you better take an economics course. There was a small recession when the price quickly rose up during the 70's. Lots of Silicon Valley was out of work as well as a lot of the rest of the country. That was just cost, not supply. There was a supply problem. Remember the odd / even days for gas and the long lines. That is nothing compared to a 60% lack of energy supplies. Most every manufacturing job in the country will be gone while the search for energy reigns supreme. My god you are dense. We produce enough oil right here to meet demands, IF conservative measures are used. We certainly have enough to keep afloat while new forms of energy are either made cost effective, or developed entirely. Who do you think will be doing the research and development? Building specialized buildings, and infrastrucure? Designing those? Probably not you. Probably very few. They will use existing buildings as we will be short of the supplies to build new infrastructure. As to having enough oil to survive. Yes we do have enough. But it is in the ground, in areas that are not being drilled. How long do you think the ramp up to drill in ANWAR, off the California Coast, etc. will take? Too long to stave off a very large rescession. So, let me get this straight. IF we were to be dependent on OUR oil resources, you think that the only thing people will do is lie down and die? Perhaps YOU are mentally resourceful enough to do so, but most educated people in the U.S. will work very hard developing technology already in research stages, as well as working on new technologies. Again, you probably remember this, and I've read about it. When gasoline engines were developed enough to actually be useful, people NEVER thought that tractors would replace farm horses, and cars would replace buggies. You are using that exact form of narrow mindedness. Look back at the recession. A LOT of good technology came from that. If you remember, before that, cars were huge, heavy, and the engines of the day, while powerful, weren't fuel efficient. Now days, the horsepower produced from a given gallon of gas is much greater. Sure there will be a very small minority employed in the search for alternative energy sources. Just as there were people employed during the "Great Depression". There will never be another "great depression. As to fuel efficiency, most has come from smaller lighter vehicles. Maybe 5% from technology. My 1964 FI Corvette got about 16.5 mpg on average and on the highway got about 18 mpg. This is with a 375 HP 327 CID / 5.3L engine. My 1999 5.4L Ford Expedition FI, weight is 50% more than the Corvette got 14.5 mpg or less around town and 16.5 mpg max on the highway. You are highly mistaken if you do not think there would be a "Extremely Great Depression". Gee, do you think that maybe "lighter vehicles" were the result of technology? Now, that 5% part is PURE horse****. Yesterday's carburated, heavy large displacement engines were NO match for today's Believe what you want. Asslicker once again shows why he is the "king of NG idiots" Most of the weight taken from current production is derived fom reducing the load.........thinner a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=sheet%20metal" onmouseover="window.status='sheet metal'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"sheet metal/a, unibody construction instead of frames, shaving fractions of ounces off of every part in the car.......like springs and brackets in the brake system, plastic instead of metal parts, etc etc. What does that mean? Door dings from the slightest touch, higher and more frequent repair costs. More deaths from lighter weight vehicles I see that you still aren't adult enough to debate something without childish name calling. Have a lonely weekend? How's things going raising your kid?
