Re: Hibye's PT Build!
Fish are just going up mainly because of gas
P.s i wouldnt think that putting a tax for global warming is silly beacuase our country probaly puts out way way less co2 than other countrys like china,taiwn,russia,etc. Also remember that if there is a carbon tax gas,soda,beer,and wine will be even more money; not that i buy gas or beer now but i do drink sprite and other sodas. ALso correct me if i am wrong on any of these things because i am only a 12 and dont have all facts right.

CO2 can't propel cars, it just isn't a very usable idea if you think about it, accelerating would be a pair and you would have to have a ton of CO2 to go a decent distance. It wouldn't be cheap. The US is putting out some of the most pollution in the world. I'm not sure if we're first or second. The other is China, who will an exploding population will soon pass us. It's not their fault alone though, they are just starting to use it in great amounts, we have been for almost a hundred years. Also a thing to note, no scientest who is not affiliated with a gas company or some other auto industry part it going to turn down a better solution. The reason that we don't have a new source of energy is simple, Oil Companies. They make hundreds of millions and they have a ton of power, a classic example is "who killed the electric car" I think it's called. It's a Michael Moore film, and although he is partially biast I believe is general story. There was a totally electric car quite a while ago, and the oil companies torpedoed it. When gas is really running out they will come out with some miracle new car, trust me.

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
Does anyone remember the Gasahol craze of the late 80s early 90s that was ethanol 20 years ago! Farmers were just making corn alcohol and selling it from their driveway. I know that ethanol isnt a viable long term answer but the technology surely isnt a new idea.

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
we cant use ethanol because that causes a waste of corn which is used to eat and feed to other live stock which then if they have less feed drives feed priced up which in turn drives beef, turkey, egg, chicken and all other shorts of foods up in price. hydrogen is the way to go IMO itll be a little more expensive in the short term since they have to pay for it but once it gets up and going like it is in claifornia it will be best to replace gas

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
It costs more to grow the corn to make ethanol than it saves. Fertilizers are made in giant factories -- using electricity from fossil fuels. The land is tilled and corn crops are maintained by machinery -- powered by fossil fuels. The corn is transported to facilities to turn it into a biofuel -- in trucks run by fossil fuels. The plants that turn it into a biofuel are powered -- by fossil fuels. Several studies have been done on the costs of producing ethanol from corn, and the BEST estimate is that it takes four times as much energy to make ethanol than the energy the ethanol produces. Very few scientists believe ethanol is an option, but the agricultural lobbyists are very strong in this country, and ethanol would make farmers rich, so they try to push this impractical option through.

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
i think everyone should buy a diesel truck since they can run on bio-diesel

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
i believe i read somewhere that it takes on average 50 acres to produce one barrel of biodiesel, if thats true it's sad. I listened to a podcast about a company just getting ready to go into the comercial stage that can produce a good amount of biodiesel in a fair amount of time with some sort of bacteria used to break down most of the garbage that is going into the landfills these days. interesting to see if thats true and where it goes from there. i'll have to go back and listen to it again to get exact numbers.

Re: Hibye's PT Build!
a lot of people make their own bio diesel in in the grarage for old cooking oil from restraunts. the other thing is we do not have even enough lad in the us to grow corn to supply our demand for fuel
