As a Congressional candidate for the Green Party of Colorado, I will be campaigning, ....nay, screaming like a wild bansee who got his fingers caught in a mouse trap, that we NEED ELECTRIC CARS!
Instead of wasting any more money on our generals to occupy the planet, offer that money to engineers who can deliver low cost and efficient electric cars and trucks.

First
I would ban all imports of gasoline and diesel powered vehicles.
SECOND
Give incentives for development of clean, limitless geothermal energy
THIRD
Put Americans back to work building: charging stations, mag-lev trains

Gas prices will no longer affect you. Prices of everything we produce here with clean, renewable and free energy will be great for your wallet and will launch humanity into the 21st century of prosperity and space travel.

The price of the car is less than $100 and it gets a minimum of 400 mile on one charge.

Stop wasting taxpayer dollars on your pet projects whose technology has barely improved in over 100 years.

It's patented and research and development is underway. How much it would cost when it becomes available...I have no idea. But it's an unlimited ocean! And it's clean. A friend of mine invested in it and is on the board of directors -- and they have no intention of selling the patent. I think it looks amazing and I'm praying for their success! It seems to be like an unending source of energy. Did you catch the link I posted above? You can get more details there. I'll post the link again here: http://marshallhydrothermal.c...

Raising money for the development is a continual challenge. I'm glad you found it interesting, Catch224u.

It's a good idea, but be careful investing right now. We still have an abundance oil and when an alternative comes along and looks promising and people invest, you see the price of oil drop. People go broke.
Not that I'm for ethyanol, but look what happened. Many investers went broke.

reply
Shirley to Catch224u 2012/06/26 02:43:06

Ethyanol wasn't a good alternative. However, even if the price of oil comes down, we still need to begin working on an alternative form of energy to oil that is clean -- and eliminates our dependency on the mercy of the oil cartels. To me, that's worth taking a risk for.

Buy some redneck roller skates if you can afford them.

No thanks for caring about the planet and believing we are in a new age of enlightenment and abundance.
You are one of those that don't believe in this 21st Century BS cause you cannot visualize free abundant energy and you want to continue to drag down others to your lack of foresight and limits on the benefits of a good education.

Dont you?

In my futuristic book I discribe my EDEN machine which turns seawater into energy, clean water and makes mining obsolete. All the energy the planet needs, free!

littlebuffalo55TBA 2012/06/19 20:43:27

I love Green Hippies

There is no way to sell me one until it get's 250 miles or more on a charge. More would mean I'd want that range with hills and dales included! As of now the closest I could get would be something like a Ford Fusion Hybrid.

I am a bit befuddled by this when there are very practical ways in the meantime to go in this direction. Why are not all Mail Trucks and UPS Vans and Buses mandated 1st?

There has never been a time when Generals were not paid to occupy the planet! It's not going to change anytime soon!

There are steps in the right direction.....:

C'mon |\\V? you sound like the Dept. of Education. "Throw Money at it that'll fix it". You don't actually know that. And are not longer lasting batteries some kind of military advantage? I'm not sure but I bet so.

Besides I'm not proposing this but would not a few billion less people be the real answer? Actually I could make a real case for that easing the human pressure on the planets systems. Allowing them more recovery time.

Again war has been around since there were two tribes fighting over the same turf before there was writing.

My idea of where ever possible mandating electric 1st has no merit?

Excuse me but you can kiss my ass, what I mentioned are the things that I need for me to go electric and just because you're a liberal who doesn't need to have a vehicle to do what's needed don't blame me. You may need an electric car to get you to the welfare office or to get your food stamps but I have a life and I need a working vehicle.

Have to go adleast 225 miles on a charge.Thats the average distance between Texas cities.Shortest is 150 Houston to Austin. Plus I would to see a electric Mustang.

First of all, it will be MY choice----not some edict from one of Obama's eco-Nazi's.

I think a hybrid is the best answer, but the technology is still not where it needs to be. When you can offer me a Tahoe (or its equivalent) hybrid that will yield 30 mph on the highway (hybrids tend to get better mileage in-town), then I'll be VERY interested.

BTW--all three points below are silly.
1. Banning imports will INCREASE fuel consumption because foreign-made cars tend to be more economical (but often less comfortable).
2. Incentive ?? Just look well that worked out with Solyndra and other companies controlled by Obama's eco-Nazi's.
3. Here in the Tampa area we have several sites where electric cars can be charged up. They are just like new. Do you know why ? BECAUSE NOBODY USES THEM !!!

PS" Will that "space travel" be solar or electric powered ? Didn't think so.

When you can come up with some workable ideas, get back to us.
