Again, if you're going to drink from my toilet don't complain about the smell. If you think someone is shitting in your water supply then that's a separate issue and you need to resolve it. >> So is it all or nothing?

So strip money from defense, which is a know issue, for funding an unknown because Al Gore wants more money. We put our priorities where they need to be. Defense is number one or at least the top three. Saving the planet from people breath is not so high up the chart. That being said, we've been researching better/more efficient fuels since we started using fuel. Throwing money at it doesn't guarantee results. Like I said before, if there was a promising solution investor would want some of the action. Unless we're to believe Exxon figured out how to use air as fuel but want to keep it secret so they can milk us for oil. >> Who's to say we're not doing the >> earth a favor by ridding it of this possible cancer?

But if forest fires are good because the clean out the old and make room for the new who's to say removing coal won't have a positive effect. My point was there are no simple answers. Change can have impact and that also needs to be studied. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:344351 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
