Pollution is real but Carbon is unproven!!!

AL GORE LIED AND NOW HE IS RICH!!!

I’m sure Roland Hwang, in his role as Transportation Program Director for the NRDC, appreciates your intellectual superiority, as evidenced by your scathing critique of his article. It is obvious to see how you are more qualified than him to judge the benefits (or in your mind, lack of benefits) of reducing dependence on oil consumption by “…improving on technologies that already exist, such as hybrid electric cars AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES…” (my emphasis).

Dude, I’m sure your response somehow satisfies your pathetic, juvenile need for self-aggrandizement; but quite frankly, what does it add to the argument? All Mr. Hwang is trying to say is that it’s in America’s best interest to not use as much petroleum as it does now, and he’s providing some rather reasonable points to bolster that argument. Where are you reading this “…America must stamp out the threat of Chinese domination…” BS? All he’s saying is that American manufacturing (and job creation) will be adversely affected if American car makers don’t keep up with the rest of the world in producing green technologies. Seeing as how the article was written for an American audience, that is certainly a relevant point to consider.

You seem to be somewhat of an electric car zealot. Speaking as a person who actually drives an electric vehicle to work and back five days a week, I’m offering you a suggestion. Chill out a little. If you have points that would support BEV’s over ICE or hybrid vehicles, make those points without resorting to an ad hominem diatribe. You would be more likely to have people support your arguments if you did so.

Reason #2 This is shows that the author is firmly commited to BAU. It does not seem to bother that oil from the middle east is being used, only that, apparently, too much is being bought from all those dirty arabs. You cant “break” an addication by useing your prefered poison a little more efficently. Thats like saying to a drug addict, if you could only abuse your drugs a little less, youd reduce police costs and reduce our dependency on South American drug lords. And lastly haveing a slightly more efficent gas-burner WONT reduce oil-depedence OR avert spills like the GOM. That spill is direct result of dependence on gas-burners. The MPG of the cars the gas from the GOM would have gone into, has ZERO relevence on the number and severity of oil spills. What a foolish argument to make.

Reason #3 A little behind the times on that one, america allready HAS lost the race to make clean cars(and oxymoron if there ever was one). Its not just that they “lost” the race, but were never interested in being in that particlar contest in the first place. I guess its expected in america to use whatever boogeyman happens to be the current threat to americas continued dominance of, whatever it is they seek to dominate, but I guess its expected to throw out the threat of the chinese menace to make their point. Last time i checked the chinese were busy emulateing americas failed approach and are builing freeways and roads as fast as they can pour concrete. And what are they putting on those roads? Whatever it is, “clean” its not. China does not have air-qualty you can cut with a knife because of all the EV’s FCV and Solar power Tractor-trailers they fill their roads with…
