Global warming is real but it is not our fault, expecially if the experts say it is to late to stop it. If we can\'t stop it then we arn\'t the problem. I just wish they would figure out WTH is the problem with hydrogen cars because they already have produced working prototypes and I wonder why they are not working or are not out yet.

The problem isnt producing hydrogen cars, its mass production.
First you would need liquid hydrogen which probably costs in the 100\'s of dollars to make. The next problem would be storing liquid hydrogem. You know how cold hydrogen has to be kept to stay liquid? COLD I think its in the -200\'s.
Ow imagine that spilling on you in an accident...

Well theres your problem. I think electric cars are a better solution since theres nothing you need except an electric engine, and iv seen videos of an electric car beating a ferrari in a drag race so power is clearly no longer the issue.

All I have to say is, I\'m extremely thankful I can walk anywhere I have to go currently.

Unfortunately, it\'s going to cost me like $60 just to drive to my parents house and back...damn you holidays.

No kidding. And if it\'s too far to walk, there\'s the bus, subway and train all near by. I know that\'s impossible for those who live outside of big cities though. Sorry guys.  

[Kiern]

Well it\'s probably a lot more, I was just estimating because I really haven\'t used my car much since May.

[DeathsAngel]

Since the hurricane the price went up to  1,34 CND $ in Montreal....

Darn compagnies that do high profit saying that we are going to miss petrol...... Yeah my eyes! If it was so critic they would mass invest in Albera for the hidden petrol and electric car.

Katrina made our gas go up like 50 cents to about 3.19 for reg.
and they\'re producing hydrogen motorcycles. It was in last month\'s Popsci or PopMech
Popsci

holy crap today all the gas stations were completely shut down after 4 p.m. in georigia! apparently b/c of the hurricane there is no power in mississipi to pump the oil from texas (where we get most of ours)  to georgia.

my chemistry teachers wife called him halfway through the class to tell him about it, and we were all dismissed to go get gas.  i went a fast as i could to my car and waited in line for an hour to get to the gas station and still paid $2.80 a gallon, and i saw other stations that were as high as $3.20 for the cheapest stuff they had(cheveron...)

now the entire city of carrolton (where i go to school) is out of gasoline completely as well as the entire city of douglasville, my hometown... and this weekend is labor day, and all students living in my dorm have to go home for the weekend... luckily i have a full tank now, but i won\'t have any to spare...it\'s pretty bad here right now to say the least.

just my political 2 cents, no, it is not because of the war!
i\'m happy now

ooooo, oh yeah, my car gets over 30mpg

oild getting higher in price has very little to do with bush and iraq, but is mostly being caused by increased consumption in china, they are starting to move away from coal and use oil.

[Efflixi Aduro]

Imagine how much a company would profit if they made a quality electric car, they would have a monopoly...

It has nothing to do with China.  It has to do with OPEC and yes some to do with Iraq.  If Iraq is producing so much oil before the war.. and is producing nothing now then prices will go up because of the laws of supply and demand.  And other countries do not want to pick up the slack because they want to hold onto what they have.  In addition, the most powerful man in the world/the president has the power to negotiate with OPEC to lower prices.  If he did not have his own agenda with him trying to show that opening up Alaska is the best option.. then he would have already had them lowered.

[JellyWerker]

china has a billion people, their oil usage is huge, and their rate of import has grown over 35% in the last year, up from around 5.7 billion gallons PER DAY in 2003, and that has nothing to do with oil prices? please don\'t play stupid with me, it a simple matter of economics, more consumption = less fuel = higher prices, get it?

[Hatchnet]

Key word there Valbrandr \"Negotiate\" meaning we must give something in return for the lower prices. Maby you have some viable ideas as to what America as a nation could give up in retern? After all I\'m sure the President will listen to you despite his greater experiance in international politics.

[Valbrandr]

Look Jerry... If you have nothing to back up your claims then dont make them!  which country in this world uses the most oil.. take a guess.  I dont believe it is China.  Nope.  Ill let you keep guessing on that while I move on.  Its not about total petroleum.  It is about how much is being pumped out.  Do you get it?  If less is pumped out then the price is higher.. if more is pumped out then the prices go down.  Why do you think the US keeps asking Saudi Arabia, during the Iraq war, to start pumping more per day?  Yes eventually it wil come to a point where you are right.. but not at this time.  Please go and take some economic classes before you come back and argue here anymore.

Edit:  And what is his experience.  Hey I dont like country.  Forget going to the UN.. Im going to do it either way.  They might could have biological weapons.  This is his experience?  Aaa I think I can do better.
