Comment on Solving the Health Care Crisis

Yeast vegetarian support — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:56:07 GMT

We definitely need to surpass this health care crisis, we have no other options and I believe this is not just a political matter. We can also bring an important change if we vote for a healthier life and start acting accordingly.

No doubt it is really a matter of concern for the whole world, that The Gross National Debt has crossed 9 trillion dollars. Necessary steps should be taken to have a check on it and also to control it's further expansion at this pace.

Comment on Consumer Spending vs. Consumer Buying

Yes definitely, but based on this statistic I don't know if we are buying more while spending more or buying less while spending more. My point was that if we are buying less but spending more because of inflation, then the consumer spending statistic is being used to make us believe that the economy is doing better when it really isn't.

Surely we need to buy to keep the economy going?

This number is huge, I don't know how we will gonna handle this anymore. It's not only about national debt, it's also about an entire nation complaining about personal debts and credits... we have to stop this from spreading and start to handle things in a better way.

Comment on Extinguishing the Olympic Torch

Unfortunately the US is not in a position to boycott, we owe China money and will probably need to borrow more. Besides, what will it accomplish? The horrible human rights abuses will still continue.

All nations, and especially the US, should boycott the opening ceremonies. I believe it is the best compromise position. The athletes still get to compete but China gets exposed to the full measure of world displeasure with their horrible human rights abuses.

Comment on Where Was Al When the Electric Car Died

No Blaise it is not a lie !!

Battery electric vehicles(BEV) are the only available vehicle technology to offer "zero emissions". If the energy required to charge up a BEV is derived from a rooftop photo voltaic arrays then no emissions are created in the process and hence "zero emission".

A part from generating zero emissions it also offers the luxury of creating your own energy for free, something that big Oil and Governments don't like :(

Even when powering from the grid typically off peak, net emissions are drastically reduced because emissions from internal combustion engines are eliminated and it is easier to reduce emissions at the smoke stack rather than rely on dubious anti pollution equipment on cars.

Comment on Where Was Al When the Electric Car Died

Blaise Wong — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 01:21:56 GMT

So the electric car is an economically viable vehicle and takes out the many different parts that an internal combustion engine needs. However, to say that it is a "zero-emissions" car is a lie: the greenhouse gas emissions are merely moved from the tail-pipe to the smoke stacks of coal plants. How the country handles this energy problem whether it be the use of wind, solar, or nuclear energy would be an interesting topic. I liked that little clip with the anecdote that Clinton told, and I found it funny that Al Gore was mentioned as well. The suppression of this option really made me sad and slightly suspicious regarding that administration and this program.
