Why, have they (The gas companies) made enough money?

Back 75 years ago, my grandmother taught me, MYOB, (mind your own business)!
When the general population decided to mix politics and religion, we have lost freedom
of both.
What two people do in the privacy of their own homes is their business. When religious
zealots have the right to make political decisions we are all lost. Mental stupidity cannot
be cured. Religious stupidity also cannot be cured.
"Oh my god, I might see two men/women holding hands or worse kissing." Stupidity of
allowing people to show affection should be banned from any and all public displays.
Grow up you frightened people.

Now here is great news. Wonder if it will ever make it to the oil hungry U.S.?Will it be the next big thing?

"Tata Motors" of India thinks so.

What will the Oil Companies do, to stop it?

It is an auto engine that runs on air. That's right; air not gas or diesel or electric but just the air around us. Take a look.

Tata Motors of India has scheduled the Air Car to hit Indian streets by August 2012

The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy N. For Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air to push its engine's pistons and make the car go.

The Air Car, called the "Mini CAT", could cost around 365,757 rupees in India or $8,177 US.

The Mini CAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis, a body of fiberglass that is glued not welded and powered by compressed air. A Microprocessor is used to control all electrical functions of the car. One tiny radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, turn signals and every other electrical device on the car. Which are not many.

The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power.

There are no keys, just an access card which can be read by the car from your pocket. According to the designers, it costs less than 50 rupees (approx. $1.12 US) per 100 KM, that's about a tenth the cost of a car running on gas. Its mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car, a factor which makes it a perfect choice for city motorists. The car has a top speed of 105 KM per hour or 60 mph and would have a range of around 300 km or 185 miles between refuels. Refilling the car will take place at adapted gas stations with special air compressors. A fill up will only take two to three minutes and costs approximately 100 rupees and the car will be ready to go another 300 kilometers.

This car can also be filled at home with its on board compressor. It will take 3-4 hours to refill the tank, but it can be done while you sleep.

Because there is no combustion engine, changing the 1 liter of vegetable oil is only necessary every 50,000 KM or 30,000 miles. Due to its simplicity, there is very little maintenance to be done on this car.

This Air Car almost sounds too good to be true. We'll see in August 2012.

Yeah, you needed to read the bill explaining the share the state was requiring
for loosing their cash cow. In case you have not noticed the state has ways of
sneaking in all kinds of taxes and fees to fill their coffers. Our gas tax the highest
in the nation, or booze tax beyond our neighboring states, so we pay more to drive
to another state for lower liquor prices. Caught on both ends.
Then I get my DOL license fee. @What happened to the $30. tab fee. It went from
30 to 47, to 72, to $105. I have to pay $20 for my plates that are perfectly fine?
Is our DOL putting out defective plates that won't last?
I think it is time to stop our representative from fleecing the public over their financial
mistakes.,
When you are trying to live on SSI, being cut by almost all support from our state help,
because I make too much money, and get $16. in food stamps, while others, get over $250,
to support illegals, something is wrong. I cannot afford $105 for plates. I have to eat also.
Just ranting at our state.

Being an ex-Catholic, I left the church on the stand of birth control.
It is ok for an unwanted or unsupported child to be starved to death
but the members are warned against birth control MORE fodder for the
priests to abuse.
The church is so out of touch with reality that their stand on using petitions
on same sex marriages automatically excludes them from their tax-free status.
Keep politics OUT of church and church OUT of politics.

And of course our representatives can't make the move to balance the budget and
quit wasting our dollars paying for the "Special Session." But they can find ways to
nickle and dime us by spending time to line their own pockets.
Having high taxes seems to be a way of life here in Washington.

Oh yes, the Republican had nothing to do with the increase of gas prices.
The gas companies are headed by Republicans. What a way to discredit
the present administration by increasing the prices.
Politics as usual.
There is no way I could vote for this man. You talk about speaking out of
both sides of his mouth. IF he could possibly get the price of gas to $2.50 a
gallon, the poor gas companies would be broke, and they would fight back and
we would have gas at $7.50 per gallon. WHAT A FARCE!

How interesting that the Republicans seem to be so innocent.
This financial mess was caused by our former president and is
being perpetuated by the Republicans crying foul towards a man
that is making an attempt to straighten out their mess.
We have a Speaker of the House that is a total finger pointing
non-involved incompetent.
The Republicans are not worried about the economy, they are worried
about feathering their own nests.

Sounds like a "gestapo" type law to me. What is to prevent some whacko
who wants revenge on a neighbor or family member from filing a complaint
regarding some child. DSHS is ineffective as it is and now the state wants
the public to do their job. Stupid law and waste of time.

I just love it when religion interferes with realities.
Suddenly the thought of people committing to each other has become
a big religious issue. Freedom is freedom and freedoms have to come
with religious objections. I well remember when blacks could NOT marry
whites and it seems that the black clergy stands to be hypocritical enough
to want to block gay marriage. Such short memories.
