Fuel Cell cars worse then gasoline? Yep.

Church of Global Warming will tell you that this is good. Is it? They wine about Carbon Dioxide, but not about the number one greenhouse gas: Water Vapor.

Not according to Junk Science:

So, greenhouse is all about carbon dioxide, right?

Wrong. The most important players on the greenhouse stage are water vapor and clouds. Carbon dioxide has been increased to about 0.038% of the atmosphere (possibly from about 0.028% pre-Industrial evolution) while water in its various forms ranges from 0% to 4% of the atmosphere and its properties vary by what form it is in and even at that altitude it is found in the atmosphere. In simple terms, however, the bulk of Earth's greenhouse effect is due to water vapor by virtue of its abundance. Water accounts for about 90% of the Earth's greenhouse effect -- perhaps 70% is due to water vapor and about 20% due to clouds (mostly water droplets), some estimates put water as high as 95% of Earth's total greenhouse effect. The remaining portion comes from carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, ozone and miscellaneous other "minor greenhouse gases." As an example of the relative importance of water it should be noted that changes in the relative humidity on the order of 1.3-4% are equivalent to the effect of doubling CO2.

If you don't believe someone who is "obviously a sock puppet of the Evil Bush administration and the oil companies" then what about Wikipedia?

Gaseous water represents a small but environmentally significant constituent of the atmosphere. Most of it is contained in the troposphere. Besides accounting for most of Earth's natural greenhouse effect, which warms the planet, gaseous water also condenses to form clouds, which may act to warm or cool, depending on the circumstances. In general terms, atmospheric water strongly influences, and is strongly influenced by weather, and weather is modified by climate.

Okay... If you don't believe Wiki, who is "obviously a sock puppet of the Evil Bush administration and the oil companies" then what about NASA:

Scientists know that atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have risen sharply in recent years, but a study released today in Paris reports a surprising and dramatic increase in the most important greenhouse gas - water vapor - during the last half-century.

Well Crap, I guess everyone is in the "pocket of the oil companies and the Bush administration"

Well, not Honda. They are putting out a vehicle that puts out water vapor, and damn the man!

Hasbro's Monopoly Replaces the Racecar With TreeHuggermobile

I am a pretty big American car guy. Infact, I am a pretty big "buy anything American over its foreign version" kind of guy (the one exception I make is Apple. Although Apple is an American company, I believe that they share the same level of hell as Activists do).

The new version of Monopoly will feature a Toyota Prius instead of the Race Car.

Who the nutz is going to win a Monopoly race with a hybrid!? When I pull up to stop lights in my Trans Am next to a Prius, I always look them dead in the eye and revv my motor, but they never step! WTF.

The Toyota Prius, the Icon of the Liberal-Tree hugger movement, is a Hybrid car. What that means, for those who don't know, is it shares a Gasoline engine with that of an Electric motor, to help attain higher mileage... 55ish mpg. This sucker starts at $21,725. You could buy a Chevrolet Cobalt for 13,665 (that gets 35mpg). With a cost of fuel at $3.00, it would take you over a 94000 mile difference between the two cars to brake even. The average car is driven about 15,000 miles a year. Let’s say you drive your Prius 66% more because you get 66% more mileage. That’s a total of 24,900 miles your driving a year (a tough feet unless you work an "On The Road" job. if you drive for 8 hours a day, it would take you

After driving your car for 9.5 years (provided the Cobalt only drives 15k a year) you will now brake even. Congrats. You drive 55pmh (to get that mileage) and you spend 1.74 hours a business day driving. Oh, and the average American car is only owned for 3-5 years. Has anyone even seen their car reach 240,000 miles? not many can claim this feet. My dad's Dodge Neon (that’s right, Dodge Neon) is at 250,000 and still runs like a champ.

My whole thing here, people, is that you can't complain about jobs going over seas if you don't do everything you can to support American jobs. That includes buying American Cars, and supporting Products from an American company as often as you can. So, when you have a choice now of New, Tree Hugger Monopoly or Batman Monopoly, the choice is clear.

Pick up the Batman version, send Hasbro a letter of why you didn't buy the other one. Besides. If the two got into a fight, Batman would rape the Prius like he was a gorilla with a fist full of potatoes.

Peter Hutchinson: Not Supporting America?

Pete here again.
When I hear the words "Freedom of Choice" it makes me want to say: "Bull Crap!" because the arguement is not for "freedom of choice" or to be "Pro Life," you are either for or against Abortion!

So here is my take on "Freedom of Choice"

I was listening to a local radio host (Jason Louis, KTLK 9/1/6) interview Peter Hutchinson, running as the Minnesota Independent Party candidate for Governor. Durring the talk about taking oil out of Alaska, he mentioned he drives a Toyota Prius.

I see a BIG problem with this.

How much do you think this candidate cares about supporting American Industry and American labor when he spends his money on something that is not only manufactured in Japan(or China, as the Prius is made in either), but also something that the profit goes to support a foreign company and a foreign country?

I would argue that he has spoken louder with his money then his banter ever would, and I would love a chance to ask him about this in a public setting (along with asking other candidates Who made their car).

Some people I know argue that "You don't have a choice any more where things are made"
I would argue against that. You must choose carefully. As a capitalist, your freedom of choice of what you want to buy is the most powerful tool you have. When you purchase things, look at where it is made. You can find American made products when it comes to almost everything. And the fact that you may not own something made in the US doesn't make you a hypocrite. Just try your hardest.

I also know that not every part in American cars is made in the United States. But to what company is the money going? I also know that some foreign manufactures assemble vehicles here. But where is the money going to? To an American company or foreign company? To primarily support the United States or to primarily support Japan/Europe?

If you don't like jobs going over seas, choose a car that was manufactured in America, or at least from an American company. But when it comes down to it... I would love to interview some of our political candidates and find out what cars they purchased. If I were running for office, I would expect to be boo'd out of the capital for spending $20-$80 Thousand on a product that does not directly support an American company and American workers.

I'm big into cars. I can respect an automobile for what it is. I just use my Freedom of Choice to support American products whenever possible... And if Peter Hutchinson was a true red blooded American, he'd be driving an American made car.
