All six c...This is one of your all time best posts. All six choices are essential for our future. Our politicians need to know that the public cares about these and will demand their implementation. <br /><br />Natural gas cars sound attractive but they can't run on solar or wind power which will ultimately have to replace even the NG when it runs out, so I go for electric transportation even now.<br /><br />There is already all the infrastructure to quadruple our desalination in less than two years but until now no money to make it happen. The first shekels flowing in from the gas extraction should go for this critical area. Your suggestions in this area are fascinating.<br /><br />But before all this happens, we first have to keep the claws of the leeches off of this gas find. Putting 65% government taxes on the gas companies that find and extract the gas will initially provide lots of money but will ultimately assure that gas companies look elsewhere for future finds. It is better to be reasonable and appropriate in your demands than to be so greedy that you lose all your teammates and exclude yourself from future games. <br /><br />Great post, Craig אבינעםCraig Keeblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-51426168775285521762010-12-31T13:25:12.178+02:002010-12-31T13:25:12.178+02:00Firstly, "Already green driver" is right...Firstly, "Already green driver" is right.

The intent was "..."No more gas cars." The intent was "gasoline" cars. I drive a car that runs on cooking gas (LPG), it does NOT pollute, and the fuel is cheaper than gasoline or diesel. The government should encourage import and conversion of cars to run on LPG, simpler than coverting the gas to electricity and distributing it.Already green drivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-4089063848703999272010-12-30T16:13:20.864+02:002010-12-30T16:13:20.864+02:00As a former President of the US Senate once said, ...As a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle" rel="nofollow">former President of the US Senate</a> once said, "what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful.
