they are inefficient and truckers are already struggling. you want to just kill them off?
hey the best thing for this country is to diversify its energy. no one in their right mind disagrees with that. so not relying on oil so much is a good thing. -------------------- Little monkeys making money

18wheelers SHOULD be a thing of the past. they should be dock to market and we should rely on trains for coast to coast transportation. would save a bunch of money and energy LOLOLOL! Yeah! let's just run train tracks right up to the grocery store! no need for those nasty smoggy 18 wheelers!! My God Cat I honestly used to think you were a smart person. |

Ah, I see ... on vehicles where fuel prices have a direct effect on the bottom line, using the most effecient thermodynamic cycle for an internal combustion engine ever developed (positive-displacement diesel cycle), combined with the most advanced engine control-systems ever developed, whose operating characteristics are updated by satellite as the trucks operate in different demographics ... we have a huge inneffeciency problem. But no I don't want to kill them off, they're a necessity, I was asking why you stated 18 wheelers should be a thing of the past. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

] 18wheelers SHOULD be a thing of the past. considering that 18 wheelers are what replaced the failing train system..... yea..... real smart. and you obviously know nothing about trucking. there is already a coast to cost shipping line viened all over america.... where do these traines end you wonder... why, right at the doorstep of the docking stations... this is called a Distribution center.... and where do the trucks go from there? why, directly to the markets to unload their goods... wait, isn't that what you were just saying SHOULD be done? but huh... seems it's already being done for the last 30 something years..... my oh my cathryn, you're dumb -------------------- |

Love plug in cars. Just about every car company has plans to release one in 2009-2010. I'm not expecting much from GM with the Volt (horrible business what they did to it in the first place). But there will be many alternatives to choose from. I know quite a few people here in America driving EVs and plug them into their solar panel home grids. 100% free vehicle transportation. In California quite a few Park and Ride bus terminals also have plug-in pitstops (many of them solar). Suupper excited. If i dont buy a EV in 2-3 years I'll purchase the EV conversion kit for the Prius. No more oil! most people plug in at night cause you can only charge at a certain rate. Luckally, the grid isn't used as much at night. Solar is green only in the southern part of the US, due to the fact of the energy it takes to make the cells and their lifetime. Go Nuclear!! -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

I still don't get how trucks should be "a thing of the past" and yet you include them in your "plan". you have a very wrong view of how this stuff works chica. go calculate tons per mile per gallon and find out just how much better these trucks are than your precious prius. |
