Alternative Fuel

I watched Sen. Joe Biden's interview on "Meet the Press" Sunday and reached the same conclusions I always do. Every time they have him on a show, it's the old thing. They act like he actually knows what he's talking about.

One subject was Alternative Fuels, and he said he would have demanded we have alt. fuel cars by 2010. He seemed to imply that the fuel would be cheaper than plain gas. Noone ever calls these guys on that point. The only reason we are hearing about alt. fuels now is because it's Cost Competetive with gas NOW. If they make them, and the price of gas falls, and it will, then what? If you don't TAX the hell out of it, we'll just use Gas again.

Same thing for these electric cars. I don't know about anyone else, but I've never had a battery last more than 6 years. There are alot of big batteries in those cars and replacement won't be cheap. That doesn't even consider the cost of disposal. What happens in an accident, do we have to get a "Hazmet" team out there for the clean-up?

I think it's time to start using our brains here, and start asking the real hard questions and stop letting these goofs sing and dance arond them.
