		<description>It&#039;s good to hear BP &amp; GM talk about alternative fuels, but 50 years to implement is too long.

It is GM&#039;s electric concept car the Chevy Volt.  If more people begin to demand alternative fuel cars, we should be able to speed the rate at which the technology is developed.

		<description>If you are interested in alternative fuel vehicles, there is a great new website called www.afvtrader.com.  It specializes in buying and selling AFVs - new and used.</description>

		<description>By the way, I don&#039;t buy the global warming baloney either; I support FFVs as a way to de-fund the jihad and other mischief makers like Venezuela and Russia.</description>

		<description>Wait, UNLIKE hybrids and electrics, an FFV can be just as beefy, brawny, fuel-guzzling, rip-snorting, rubber-laying, tire-squealing, load-hauling, rev-roaring, and all-American as a car that is restricted to gasoline only.

The ONLY difference between FFVs and non-flexible fuel cars is that the FFVs can burn BOTH gasoline and alcohol fuel, in any mix.  All it takes is different materials in the fuel line, an optical sensor to tell what the fuel is at any moment, and some software changes in the electronic fuel injector.

There&#039;s no cost to performace, and the dollar price for the change is just $100~$200 tops.  The FFV is exactly the same as a regular gas car, just as much weight, just as much horsepower.

By contrast, a hybrid has to haul around a redundant second electric engine and a huge lead-acid battery.  That adds hundreds of pounds in weight and thousands of dollars in cost.  Which is why so many hybrids have such extreme design compromises, such as small size, weak gasoline engine, etc, designed to cut back on the enormous cost and weight.

That makes hybrids conspicuously obvious and the road and gives them a high profile.  People who want to show off their green bona fides find that attractive, which is why hybrids are a fad right now.  But FFVs have been quietly out-selling hybirds by several-to-one for many years.

FFVs are just not as noticeable because the only sign that they&#039;re different is just a little badge or logo somewhere on the car.

As for the Volt, concept, showroom and lab demonstrators are fine, but tend not to work in the practical reality of the gritty daily grind of real-world, real-life commutes, trips, and hauling duties.  Hydrogen fuel cells are especially a big boondoggle.

FFVs are the way to go.</description>

		<description>There is no &#039;global warming&#039; and there is not consenus that man creates global warming and there is no consensus that carbon dioxide has anything to do with global warming.  

There is no oil shortage..new reserved are being found annually that far surpass demand.  

The average temp of the planet has been dropping for the past 10 years.  

There is current technology that powers a auto/minivan on &quot;compressed air&quot; ...the inventor is in India.  The US Govt will be frustrated with this because there is no way to tax &quot;air&quot;.  

check out the youtube video also, besides the MFR&#039;s website...

		<description>The numbers might creep up, but I have a problem with the “coolness” factor of fighting Global Warming. But my problem is that Global Warming just isn&#039;t cool enough. And neither is the “weapons” and gadgets to help me in this fight. No badge or hip gadget I can wear. Makes it difficult to know what I should do. A Prius? Not cool. Not like the FJ Cruiser. Windfarms? Cool but I can&#039;t carry it around like an iPod to show off. Those pesky CO2&#039;s are just so tiny - smaller than the diamond my wife will accept and bigger than I can afford? http://angryafrican.net/2008/04/03/global-warming-is-just-not-cool/</description>
