Mr. Jonvee, Now here is where I disagree with you... Complex problems do not always require complex solutions! In fact there is nothing better then entering into a dispute that appears to have complex issues on either side and finding a simple answer that no one had bothered to think about. My solution to this issue does not nearly qualify as such because it ignores certain wants and desires of people with regards to their quality of life. It also could be deemed "hard on the planet" in other ways despite the lack of pollution. Of course a majority of the electric power out here where I live is from Hydro-Electric, which if not built and used properly seems to be hard on the migrating fish. perhaps some of you efficiency spouting experts %%%% can tell us what efficiency a hydro-electric Dam is.. Don't forget to factor in the Head(in feet) and the Turbine design into your percentages.
The real solution to the whole transportation pollution issue is of course to walk! All those feet will probably trample the planet flat and devoid of any vegetation in only a few years but hey we will still have our OZONE and that is the most important thing right? I apologize if I offend anybody, I just been stuck home with the flu all week and it has a tendency to make me cranky. Back to my EV design......now where was I? ---Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 7:43 AM Subject: [biofuel] Re: EVs > All, > > Here's a quote which I have cherished over the years.
