You know, I've got NOTHING against making things more energy efficient. Nothing whatsoever - I think it's a good idea. But, IN ADDITION to this, let's make MORE electricity from nuclear energy. Now THAT would REALLY reduce carbon emissions. THAT would REALLY make a significant difference. Well, a difference in some areas. Whether or not it will significantly affect global warming is still not clear. Not to me, anyway. But it WOULD help to reduce our dependence on non-renewable oil resources, and THAT is very important because we KNOW that the oil will eventually run out.

Hey, what about the fact that my son converted a mercedes diesel to veggie oil (kit cost about $1,000) and the car went from 1.0 percent unburnt hydrocarbons to 0% hydrocarbons. that's right--none, and the exhaust was no longer dirty smelly, but smelled like warm popcorn. why isn't anyone pushing for that? i simply cannot believe we cannot push for more diesel autos and convert the existing ones. buses and trucks account for 30 to 40 percent of pollution. people are getting asthma, emphasema anda whole host of lung diseases from pollution, and yet our Illinois EPA tests showed no hyrdrocarbons. I also have a friend who says the latest breakthru in agriculture is taking seeds from plants during a certaint time and at a certain location can produce 7 to 10 times the normal yield from them. what gives? why can't we save ourselves from this evil foreign oil, produce corn oil ourselves and solve pollution?

i think it's great that computers can "go green", but they're not a major source of pollution like vehicles are. this would be a brilliant (and easy) solution, yet it seems invisible except to a handful of car and environmental enthusiasts that are pursuing it now.

This going green has gone to far. The sky is fallin' the sky is fallin!

I'm about ready to market a kit designed to make old computers green.
