EPA's Lisa Jackson Is at the Center of Obama's Climate Change Policy

Electric Car

Does it matter if the car runs on gas or electric. Dunce head. We provide electricy by oil. Since, our housing need burns up all of our alternative energies, then one must assume that the additional electricy need to produce enough energy for the billions of car to run on daily, that it will come from gas..or oil to be exact. The only advantage is that we should be able to scrub the fumes cheaper than the cars do. How ever I argue that that will also be a wash. So, the last advantage of the electric car is that as alternavtive fuels become more available they all will be able to be converted to electric.

Which is a huge advantage. But the only question is rather or not it can be done on a bipartisan bases ...the answer is no way. Dems, republicans, and our departmental governments agencies have all I think to be proven to be corrupt...at best.

So, you want electric. Vote American. Vote Independent.

crooks beind our money going bye bye

the truth of the matter is that our government could operate on half of the tax it collects. Maybe it does? So, why so greedy. Kerry kooks or crooks is a good question. Ask those of the big dig. We need to fire them all. Dems and Reps. and put someone in there that will cut our governmental blood red dollar bleading. StoP the oozing. Vote American. Vote Independent.

Commie

whoever said Obama is a commie is apparently a moron. you first call him a socialist, and its not good enough for you after he tried to tackled the health care reform which most other president wouldn't touch. you now call him a commie, what are you thinking? how about you be the president? na, i doubt you will even pass the local election because you a nobody.

There is some many things going wrong with people today!!!

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMENT YOU EVER READ IN YOUR ETIRE LIFE ABOUT AUTO INDUSTRY HOW INCAPABLE ARE TO COME UP WITH MORE ECONOMIC CAR ALTHOU IT HAS BEEN DONE MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO READ IT YOU WILL BEAMAZE.

The car of the future runs completely on electricity. No more dependence on gas. No more

choking the atmosphere with fumes. Whenever the possibility of electric cars is raised, the media

and other commentators ooh and ahh over the potential. But this technology isn't futuristic — it's

positively retro. Cars powered by electricity have been on the scene since the 1800s and actually

predate gas-powered cars.

A blacksmith in Vermont — Thomas Davenport — built the first rotary electric motor in 1833

and it to power a model train the next year. In the late 1830s, Scottish inventor Robert Davidson

rigged a carriage with an electric motor powered by batteries. In his Pulitzer-nominated book

Taking Charge, archaeology professor and technology historian Michael Brian Schiffer writes

that this "was perhaps the first electric car."

After this remarkable achievement, the idea of an

electric car languished for decades. In 1881, a

French experi-menter debuted a personal vehicle

that ran on electricity, a tricycle (ie, three wheels

and a seat) for adults. In 1888, many inventors in

the US, Britain, and Europe started creating threeand

four-wheel vehicles — which could carry two

to six people — that ran on electricity. These

vehicles remained principally curios-ities until May 1897, when the Pope Manufacturing

Company — the country's most successful bicycle manufacturer — started selling the first

commercial electric car: the Columbia Electric Phaeton, Mark III. It topped out at fifteen miles

per hour, and had to be recharged every 30 miles. Within two years, people could choose from an

array of electrical carriages, buggies, wagons, trucks, bicycles, tricycles, even buses and

ambulances made by numerous manufacturers.

New York City was home to a fleet of electric taxi cabs starting in 1897. The Electric Vehicle

Company eventually had over 100 of them ferrying people around the Big Apple. Soon it was

unleashing electric taxis in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington DC. By 1900,

though, the company was in trouble, and seven years later it sputtered out.

As for cars powered by dead dinosaurs, Austrian engineer Siegfried Marcus attached a onecylinder

motor to a cart in 1864, driving it 500 feet and thus creating the first vehicle powered by

gas (this was around 25 years after Davidson had created the first electro-car). It wasn't until

1895 that gas autos — converted carriages with a two-cylinder engine — were commercially

sold (and then only in microscopic numbers).

Around the turn of the century, the average car buyer had a big choice to make: gas, electric, or

steam? When the auto industry took form around 1895, nobody knew which type of vehicle was

going to become the standard. During the last

Overboard

Really, Obama a communist?

Really, we'll be "enslaved," forced further into "poverty and servitude"?

I find statements such as these to be a little overboard, and dramatic. How can you back yourself up when throwing such zealous criticisms into the wind? There can often be a thin line between rational, positive criticism and vain name-calling.

And one should wonder why there is so much fence-splitting over issues like global warming. A great rift formed at some point, for some seemingly unclassifiable reason, splitting the issue - virtually - right down the middle. Sure, there are some (hopefully more) of us who aren't quite extreme (or should I say, who are practical). We don't offer - or otherwise, believe - statistics pointing staggeringly in this direction or that. But, rather pragmatically, we realize that a balanced assessment is necessary if we're going to make progress on whatever the issue may or may not be.

Personally, I believe global warming is a huge issue and is irrevocably teamed with resource allocation, pollution, habitat loss, and other items on the environmental and economic agenda today. In other words, it's a lost cause to attempt resolving any one of these problems without adequately embracing them all.

Secondly, I do believe that man is causing some or more of the global warming occurring. To suggest that such an important species as the human is not having a very large impact on all facets of our planet is, simply, ridiculous. We have reached our hand too far into the cookie jar at this point to ever be able to pull it out innocent. It's inevitable. Let's start with that.

I think it is great that we have someone that will make a difference. Bush was for big business but Obama will look out for the environment and ecosystem.

The World Agrees We Are Destroying Ourselves

The world agrees the environment needs protection. A child has the wisdom to know that if you do not create pollution, you will not be polluted. Our employment lifestyle is creating pollution. We can turn to creating a garden paradise lifestyle. That solves world problems easily, quickly, fairly and inexpensively and it is sustainable. God and His angels want that for us; who would be opposed?

It's Pollution dummy & Opportunity for Economic growth!

There are NO Excuses for Pollution!

You cares if it's ten scientist or 100 scientist who believe or disbelieve in climate change/global warming. Any which way you look at it, it's Pollution and we shouldn't waste any time doing everything we can to develop and adopt clean energy technologies. Moreover, it's a perfect opportunity to develop an industry with enormous growth potential and creating new jobs. Furthermore, R&D (research and development) in clean energy is an exciting opportunity to develop innovative products and technology putting the USA ahead of the pack (global market).

Lastly, we cannot take any chances by denying global warming exists.

Global Warming

I agree with Antonio Sosa 100%. If congress would get their heads out of the sand and do some investigations -- a light would come on in their empty heads.
