Riding bikes is impractical bullshit, hell if I'm going to pick up groceries on a bike and ride 30 miles to the store in back taking me several hours to do a simple task. Besides obese people usualy don't even bother to drive, they just have their skinny family and freinds run errands for them, so how precisely does this solve obesity. Not to mention the fact that it would be hilarious to see a 500 pound butterball try to balance on a bike. Ultimately in the end the only thing that will stop obesity is a nation wide change in philosophy or rudementury teachings. None of this "beauty is all on the inside" bullshit which is just something used to make lazy bums feel better. Yes there is inner beauty and outer beauty, both of which must be balanced.

Damn it, went off on a hell of a tangant. They've been saying oil will be gone in the next decade for the past 5 decades. Ultimately it'll run out sooner or later and everyone will be screwed, imparticularly the middle east, thats pretty much their only export of great value. Hybrid cars will become the unleaded gas about 2 years from now, in 5 years from now I can see hydrogen cars on the road, seeing them once every week. In 10 years I can see hydrogren being fully implemented and about 1/5 of cars on the road being hydrogren based. I like the ideas proposed by biofuel, however I have my own plans for world domination, err I mean, defeating the energy chrisis, right.......

Hydrogen cars could be something. Iceland has it. They've started a BIG project to convert most of the transportation inte using Hydrogem. I don't know what it's called in English but in Swedish it's called ''bränsleceller'' if that helps anything.

GO ICELAND!

Bränsleceller is just Swedish for the hydrogen technology . Here in Stockholm we have like 5 busses (can't really remember the numbers, that's just a guess) that's powered by hydrogen. You can recognize them by there's a fairly big ammaunt of water steam comming out from the exhaust pipe.



Look closely and you can see the water steam at the roof (where the exhaust pipe is located).

Ok, you can ride your bike for 25 to 30 miles to your work place and have an extremly high probably of getting hit by someone in a car. I won't ride a bike where I live and after my counsin got killed a few weeks back in an bike accident.

hmmm peeing to fill your tank, I could see it now

"we are out of fuel on the interstate"
"everyone get out and pee in the tank!"
*cop pull up*
"all of you are charged with public indency"

I want one of those hydrogen burning cars, they even make kits to convert gasoline powered cars to burn hydrogen. If I could not use that then I want a gas powered fuel cell. Nearly all the gasoline is converted to eletricty so you get alot better milage.

Hmm... so it's no liquid water that runs out of the back of the bus? That would have been great. Think all of the countries (e.g. Hungary) that during summertime bring out these big cars the water the roads. It could be done by busses if liquid water would flow out from an exhaust pipe on the backside of the bus.

The very easy translation of "Bränslecell" is "Fuel cell".

Gas prices are raising mostly because India and China are using more gas, AND gas is running out.

I hope it runs out and we are forced to result to new alternatives. Watch the oil companies shit their pants when they can no longer provide oil and get money in return.
