Re: Earth To Bush
Now they are going to start drilling for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.
When they've used all that oil, they'll start somewhere else. Do they thi nk that this planet is the property of the US government??? Do they realise what they are doing to OUR planet???? What they do in their part of the world affects all other parts too. Grrrrrrr!!! I get soooooo angry!

Re: Earth To Bush
My friend wants to buy a new car and is looking at Hybrids. The model he wants is way more expensive as a hybrid than a regular gas guzzling car. For fecks sake! The Hybrids should be about a grand cheaper
ARGH!!!!

Gas efficient vehicles are on sale in the USA ... e.g., the Toyota Prius, the new Honda hybrid car, etc. Also, there are hybrid SUVs on the way.
But yeah, I would like to see fewer huge SUVs (if any) on the road. But a lot of people seem to like the flexibility that SUVs offer. But Congress could legislate for more fuel efficient SUV engines, and jack up the price of gas like in the UK through taxation. Until the price goes still higher, it seems people will still buy huge SUVs.

Argentina didn't want the Falklands for it's penguins mate.
