about to listenl..... wondering if these are 10 more or just "more bizarre" theories....or both which should be cool

Sweet! The last time you guys did this, it was hilarious! Looking forward!

(By the way, can you do something about the MP3 player? Even if I close it, every time I accidentally press Shift+Space in the comment field, it starts playing.)

Marc might want to check his facts on Tesla, in spite of his somewhat outrageous claims later in life he was right and Edison was wrong, Edison even admitted it apparently, not to mention that Edison was actually kind of evil and did lots of fucked up shit not at all in the spirit of scientific discovery out of personal pride.

I'd like to hear an entire show of just Tod talking about 9/11. Marc can be present but must not be allowed to cut Tod off or scream 'NEXT"

"...God."
"You mean Ra?"

Hilarious.

John, ethanol is currently made form food. It is also not very energy dense. So you want people to starve? Making fuel from food is beyond insane.

Hydrogen is a non issue for the immediate future. To make it dense, it is beyond dangerous to store. Take it from me, or look up...hyrdogen infiltration I think(?). Also all the hydrogen today come from...oil. To store it safely, it has to be a gas, and that takes up a shit load of space, or gives you a very short range.

Foreign oil? You do realize that most of your foreign oil is keeping Canadians in doughnuts and beer and central/south Americans in cerveza and beans. These are more than 50% of total oil, and when combined with your domestic production...well, most middle east oil goes elsewhere

Most US electricity is produced by coal or gas. The body count on coal is huge, but it is domestic. So you support the killing of Americans to keep your lights on? No matter what alternatives you go to, for 24 hour power you pretty much need to burn something since there is no good way to store electricy, wind, or solar.

Regarding the Clinton body count, it fuels the idea that they were 'handled' by a power, possibly a foreign government, that was 'fixing things' from outside. The story went that they were originally run by the KGB and then sold to the Chinese.

I have not finished listening yet...the energy inaccuracies made me angry. You wouldn't like me to get angry.

Laxdude... what energy inaccuracies? I'm well aware ethanol is made from food (corn for the most part), I'm well aware that Hydrogen is insanely dangerous to store. And yeah, most electricity is from coal. My beef is with the electric car. People can starve and cars can blow up, but no one is using that stupid and useless electric car.

I know that cars went to gasoline for a good reason, dense stable energy store and quick to recharge and that electric cars were dropped for a reason, the EV 1 was dumped for almost good reasons.

I seem to recall that in the US that the Prius does not come with an electric only switch like it is in Europe is because if it had an all electric mode then the battery would have to be included in the minimum powertrain warantee. That is why the EV was never sold, because of the battery pack.

Sorry to imply that you didn't know what 99.9% of North Americans don't, people just think ethanol and hydrogen which are currently massive boondoggles.

That is not to say that most cars are 'city cars' and never really go beyond 75 miles from home. There is a great chance to reduce a lot of these cars to all electric, which would cut down on airborn pollution in urban cores (but move a lot of it to manufacturing and generating areas).

I have also seen studies in Vancouver that it would be cheaper and better for the environment to have not spent one cent in any transit system and just give everyone a Smart Car. People always argue the environment and transit, they are wrong. In my area the transit system is more poluting than the cars it takes off the road - and a hell of a lot of our transit (train and bus) are electric and pretty damn clean.

Electric cars have a place, but they have problems, where they do the greatest good (urban) most people are not parking them in a home garage so can't easily charge them, and the off peak power demand is still pretty high. The battery is also an environmental nightmare, and just transfers a different polution elsewhere.
