This new crap is even showing up on farm equipment and irrigation power units. It might make sense to limit emissions on city buses, but on farm equipment? |

The U.S. government keeps increasing the fuel mileage standards, for example. Vehicles are being made lighter as a result. How many more people are killed or injured because of that? Suppose we had vehicles sturdily built like the ones from the 50s 60s with modern safety features? |

16 year-old Evie Sobczak from St. Petersburg, Florida has engineered a
new method of turning algae into biofuel. She determined a novel and more efficient way to grow the organisms, extract oil, and use the product as biodiesel. Her method uses no chemicals, and creates 20 percent more oil than current technologies. Her efforts won her first place at Intel’s International Science and Engineering Fair.

Another Marie Curie!! -- ""Almost all liberal behavioral tropes track the impotent rage of small children. Thus, for example, there is also the popular tactic of repeating some stupid, meaningless phrase a billion times" Arms for hostages, arms for hostages, arms for hostages, it's just about sex, just about sex, just about sex, dumb,dumb, money in politics,money in politics, Enron, Enron, Enron. Nothing repeated with mind-numbing frequency in all major news outlets will not be believed by some members of the populace. It is the permanence of evil; you can't stop it." (Ann Coulter) |

"The Law Of unintended Results" It's what happens when Congress designs anything and imposes by law, impossible or insanely difficult to implement standards. The "Won't Flush Toilets" were one of plumbing fixtures designed by Congress. ^_^ TDD |

Thank you congress. > We have one of the first ones to come out and it's a horror story. It takes two to three flushes to clear it. My friend GB on the other hand had one of the toilets containing a pressure tank and the thing will geld you if you flush it while seated on the throne. My 63 Dodge was safe because anyone seeing it coming got the heck out of my way. ^_^ TDD |
