7602. arkymalarky - 7/24/2008 4:22:04 PM Unfortunately I already have a home equity loan, so that's out until the house is paid for. Which isn't too long, since our utilities aren't very high now. I also want to replace our hot water heaters with tankless ones. That we can do now.
I don't get the appeal of big houses. Ours is 2000sq ft and is way more than enough for two people. If I'm ever alone I want something tiny. 7603. iiibbb - 7/24/2008 5:06:04 PM We live in an 1800ft home. It's a little cramped from a storage front. If it had a basement it'd be perfect. I also need a shop so I can get out of the garage. That would need climate control, but I probably wouldn't keep it anywhere near what is home-comfortable. 7604. jexster - 7/24/2008 10:13:48 PM I think Concerned wins the Climate Change argument
Arctic has enough oil to power USA for twelve years
I'm a faggot and I'll be dead by the time that reservoir's depleted and another discovered at the South pole
Why should I give a fuck about AC's grandkids, polar bears and fucking baby seals???? 7605. jexster - 7/24/2008 10:14:33 PM 7606. jexster - 7/27/2008 4:46:33 PM The Indian "Volkswage" $2500 Nano

Play EnergyVille - an Interactive Game brought to you as a public service by Chevron 7608. concerned - 7/28/2008 4:26:07 PM Hydrogen is a great energy delivery system, but you still have to generate it using electricity (where do you get the electricity)
The short answer to that is 'nuclear power'. 7609. concerned - 7/28/2008 6:27:32 PM Number of gas and oil wells in Lake Erie: 480.

I know you don't like Lomborg's take on climate science, but is there anything you actually disagree with him about, factually? 7611. thoughtful - 7/28/2008 6:39:09 PM w or w/out nuclear power, electricity generation is far more efficient than internal combustion engines so even with using current technologies, we're better off with electric cars. 7612. concerned - 7/28/2008 6:51:53 PM Number of gas and oil wells in Lake Erie: 480.
Number of gas and oil wells on US side of Lake Erie: 0.
This is nothing to feel righteous about. 7613. jexster - 7/28/2008 7:42:27 PM Tata Nano Sets the Auto Standard

7616. alistairConnor - 7/28/2008 9:22:48 PM Sounds fine to me. If they start selling these little suckers in Yurrup, they'll sink four or five auto makers... who have been conspiring to keep the price of an entry-level car up to 8000 euros or so. 7617. jexster - 7/31/2008 6:23:52 PM Pickens on his energy plan

It could save us from self-immolation. 7620. concerned - 8/1/2008 6:01:25 PM I've already read about this. Interesting that there's no mention that it exceeds the maximum 50% efficiency of electrolysis, which suggests, given the general adulatory tone of this puff piece, that it doesn't. That's a lot of wasted energy. 7621. concerned - 8/1/2008 6:02:22 PM It could save us from self-immolation.
Care to explain your reasoning?
