[AT] Gasoline $

[George Willer]

Richard,

I think you are right on both counts.... but solar and wind are just plain 
silly, because of the low energy density.  The much ballyhooed hydrogen is 
even sillier.

Of course blended gas will produce poorer mileage.  Ethanol contains only 
about 64% as much energy per pound as gasoline.

The fact remains that as a country we are bleeding profusely.  We're sending 
FAR too much of out collective wealth to the Arabs when we should be 
producing our own energy.

Oops... political again.

George Willer
