The Arabs and Chinese of course. The one for selling at such a high
price and the other for buying so much of it. :)

Who says there are more often and more powerful hurricanes?
Global warming alarmists said this would happen but, to the
best of my knowledge, it hasn't.

Even if hurricanes did happen more often and more powerfully,
it's the sun that causes it all. Should we stop the sun?

I've been told that a great deal of gasoline (an oil product)
is used to power cars. I've also been told that the GM EV1 got
at least 3 miles/kWh and some of the newer model electric cars
that are soon to be on the market get over 4 miles/kWh.

If you replace a typical car getting 25 mpg with an electric
car that gets 4 miles/kWh then you need kWh to replace
one gallon of gasoline.

If we used a really efficient electric powered mass transit
system, such as a PRT (personal rapid transit) then it's quite
likely we would need even less electricity to do the same job.
