The big AGW-media complaint about the Patriot Act was that it
allowed eavesdropping on calls to Al Queda originating in the US.
How ? Do they have Al Qaeda's phone number ?
You could probably call international information and get it.
But these days, "terrorism" is nothing more than boogeyman du jour. The
US lost the "war on terror" the day they started strip-searching American
Citizens.
There's no threat to the US from "terrorists" - they're too busy sitting
in their yurts, watching international satellite news on their i-phones,
rolling on the floor laughing their asses off watching Washington, DC do
more damage to America than any number of "terrorists" could even _dream_
of doing.
There's a huge threat from terrorists. Unfortunately, they won
the elections, and now they're busy dive-bombing the Statutes
of Liberty. Or something like that.

Opel's Flextreme a.k.a. Ampera is touted as delivering only 40g CO2 / km which
is much much better than half. Of course that doesn't count the CO2 generating

That was the dot-com bubble. Al Gore may have some minor
responsibility for that, but Clinton can't really be held responsible
Only in terms of your crack-brain economic theories. Dubbya never did
nearly as well, even with the sub-prime bubble to boost his revenues.
And looked it in terms of your crack-brain economics, which doesn't

Only if Obama and his team were silly enough to reject the neo-

This isn't good enough to get the western carbon foot-print down to
half a ton of CO2 per head, which is where we need to end up - and
sooner rather than later - but it is a useful step in the right
direction, since hybrid cars are available now, and can rely on the
exisitng infra-structure for their fuel supplies.
The Dutch are planning on setting a network of rapid recharge stations
for electric cars in anticipation of a market for the service, despite
the fact that their electricity generating system doesn't yet have the
spare capacity to recharge any appreciable number of electric cars,
which is another step in the right direction.
