Re: 'Cool' car rules could affect radios, phones

It wouldn't effect two way commericial, cb or ham radio gear as all of those radios that are properly installed use external antennas. Cell phones are GPS are another story. Auto manufacturers could...

Re: Texan Sees ‘Economic Disaster’ in Climate Bill

This is Perry's latest bloviating from the party of No. He's free to deny global warming if he likes but not as a politician. We're vulnerable to hurricanes on the Gulf coast and anything that can...

Re: Will a drop in Peak Energy drastically change our lifestyle?

I'm currently two thirds of the way through James Howard Kuntsler's book, "World Made by Hand" and it is a real eye opener. In short a combination of peak oil, devestating nuclear attacks on Los...

Re: As hybrid cars gobble rare metals, shortage looms

This sounds a lot like the lithium shortage argument. It turns out that lithium is not the major material used in lithium ion batteries. Lithium is also the 30th most abundant material on...

Re: The New Ford Six Speed Powershift Automatic Transmission

I'd be the last one to go back to an automatic after having so much fun with my 5 speed but if it beats the manual stick shift than why argue with success.

I'm not worried about clutch wear either....

Re: Indiana's emerging wind farms whip up controversy

No I don't think so. They probably want to put in much safer coal, gas and nuclear. :eyebrow:

Re: Would You Rather Save $4000 or $14000?

Perhaps with that clunker money you could trade in a 2000 Ford Excursion at 12/8 hiway/city mpg for a Ford Escape at 25/19 hiway/city mpg. So progress is being made. :eyebrow:

Re: Lutz won't retire after all

I thought it was Rick Wagoner that did that? Also, did Wagoner sell the EV-1 patents or Ovonics and its patents, the maker of the NiMH battery that gave the EV-1 that exceptional range, to Texaco?

Re: What kind of GM emerges?
