Or maybe, you could just try to improve your technology.

But that would be to "progressive", I suppose.

First step in doing so is to correct the lib definition of progress

If anything it would be the combustion engine that fails that incline. Electric motors have more torque than you can shake a stick at. But if you like noise, smells, rising costs and reliance on the Arab world then keep drawing stupid obtuse cartoons.

One of my best friends is a doctor (of medicine) who heads up a major department of the World Health Organisation. I think he would be disgusted by the (usual) politicisation of an organisation which has been invaluable to so many people in the world. Without their dedicated hard work many of the major diseases would have gone pandemic throughout the entire world by now. Yet some of you seem to confuse medicine with liberalism. Step back and see how pathetic your attitude is.

Ah I see where you are confused..

Note no where did anyone say anything about torque..

As for the picture, it was provided to highlight the fact that alternative fuels are a joke..

As in you will end up pushing your car if your counting on alternative fuels to power it..

Which is not to say alternatives fuels will allways be a joke.. There is some interesting stuff going on with alge based deisl fule production..

The point of all this is the goverment can not force it to happen

I am all for the goverment funding investagative projects into alternative fuels, what I dont aprove is them forcing it on people.

Note where you confuse "improvement" with "alternative".

Slowly I start to understand where the US economic problems have their roots.

But to actually tackle alternatives...
You see, there was a time when people used horses and carriages. Then came along a men called Benz. He inventend the automobile.
Man, those things stank, made noise and were slower then both horses and carriages. They broke down all the time. No future there, as so many of the people of that time said.

If only we had listened to them, just right now, the world would have been such a better place. Those darn "progressives".
