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

It's his mental illness. He "thinks" we have all forgotten how brilliant he
is, hence his need to remind us with his postings.

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


Yeah, yeah, yeah.............and it is all Bush's fault.

Good night Harry.

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.

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

Harry, I agree that gas prices and availability are significant boat-related
issues. What's more interesting to me than bush-bashing is the idea of a
hydrogen-dependent economy and how to convert gas and diesel powered boats
to hydrogen powered boats when the time comes (if ever).

I also wonder at what point the price of gas will make an alternative fuel
such as hydrogen and conversion of our infrastructure financially feasable.

I also wonder if hydrogen is feasable mechanically and if it is truly
renewable.

I wonder if lack of demand can actually affect fuel prices. I mean, I keep
hearing that prices are rising because of higher demand from China. And, in
theory, Americans would prefer that prices be lower. I think I'm right about
that, but I could be wrong. Somebody let me know if I'm wrong about that,
OK?

So, if we'd like prices to be lower, I wonder why so many people are doing
the exact opposite of what it takes to make that happen.

People who want to lose weight still eat donuts.

Many who complain about high unemployment support paying those who don't
work.

Such illogic abounds.



Yeah. Let's all buy an Escalade or a Suburban, even if we're single and
never haul anything bigger than 3 bags of groceries.

I'm not sure we can make a dent in demand anymore. I might be wrong, but I
think the demand for oil in China (if that is a true assertion) will
outstrip any decreased demand in the U.S. My take is that we need a fuel
source that we can make in the U.S. from U.S. resources owned by U.S.
companies.

Work and pleasure, the two major consumers. Maybe that's why.
