Americans is stupid when it comes to energy conservation and development.

We installed a heat pump over the summer, so far it appears to be a good investment. Heating costs are way lower than last year. Unfortunatly we will remain addicted to oil until someone is allowed to "economicaly" replace it with something else. I watched a TV spot over the weekend about windfarms in Texas. One old guy was complaining that the big windmills were ugly! I suppose his grandfather thought the oil derricks were ugly, and his great grandfather thought that the cattle were ugly. Oh well. I do think the technology exsists to replace our dependecy on oil, it is just more expensive right now. Oh and by the way, I mean this in a good way,........... you may be crazy Joe! _________________________ "It's just old Luke, waitin on the Judgement Day"

IF we're lucky, Hell will freeze over first and Judgement Day will be moot. :-) [This is a joke, with no offence intended to personal beliefs!!!] Good thoughts on the "economic" energy alternatives! This, too, may just be a matter of time. Especially if the Arabs go off the U.S. dollar for oil pricing, as they are now considering! _________________________ Humans were intelligently designed to be intelligence-disadvantaged slaves.

Its a lazy small fluff of a coat that could bring 2 inches by nightfall. _________________________ "Perception is the art of defining reality. Be careful who you allow to define it."

Luke Luke Member Registered: 07/05/01 Posts: 186 Loc: Missouri	I don't know about other places but in the KC area according to the media the first 2" of snow is like begining of the apocalpse. Kansas City has one meterologist in particular that nearly orgasms at the thought of snow. Also for some reason a lot of Kansas Citians forget how to drive in bad weather until about the end of January. The local media hypes bad weather to no ends. I sometimes think they are in cahoots with Wal-Mart to sell weather related items. At our house we always have maintained a two week supply of food and other rations so it is really not an issue with us. Winter still sucks though. Having arthur screaming in your back is worse in the cold and damp. Can't wait till we can spend the winters in Kingman, Az. _________________________ "It's just old Luke, waitin on the Judgement Day"
