Althogh the contest isnt for awhile i thought i could start some research. And your site didnt have every thing i was looking for but it had most of it.

Since when did Europe decide what was best? Last i checked there were only a handful of European countries still aiding us in Iraq.  If they dont even have the balls to Stay there, then they sure as hell dont have any right to parade around like theyre the greatest thing in the world.

In my opinion suplemental hydrogen is the best solution for our current gas guzzlers.HHO(hydrogen, hydrogen, oxygen gas) can be made on demand with a simple device that many on youtube are developing in their own garages as a type of hybrid conversion.The use of hydrogen not only increases fuel economy of gasoline, but also diesel.It&#039;s nice to have a hybird fuel equivilant to 130 octane gasoline, and is free.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diesel is great for future cars, the problem is the cars we already have.

Biologist Jeffrey Dukes calculated that the fossil fuels we presently burn in one year were produced from stores of organic matter &quot;containing 4410 to the 18 grams of carbon, which is more than 400 times the net primary productivity of the planet&#039;s current biota.&quot; In plain and simple English, this means that every year we use four centuries&#039; worth of planetary plant and animal matter that were converted into fossil fuel over many millions of years.

http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/january-2008-4-sources-say-globally-cooler-in-the-past-12-months/
Oh, wait, That is actually global cooling. We better start buying cars that get 13mpg so that we can have more carbon emissions to warm this planet back up.
I think I will have to buy another parka and another 15 passenger van.
I am all for saving money at the pump to help my own pocket book and get us more independent from the middle east, but if you support reducing carbon emissions, just hold your breath. You exhale carbon dioxide with every breath. You are the problem. You can eliminate the problem.
On a more serious note. Maybe we should study this whole weather thing a bit longer before we have the government give us &quot;fixes&quot; like ethanol from corn, that only drive the price of food up and don&#039;t reduce pollution at all. Or have the government stop subsidizing big oil so that the price of gas can go to what it should be in a free market, which would make people use alternatives that are truly cheaper and better.
Government regulation has never fixed anything.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Warming is going to kill us. We will freeze to death in a few years.<br

Lets say we drive 100 miles in a gas and diesel truck. I&#039;ll be nice and say the truck gets 15 mpg on the highway, even though its closer to 12. My diesel gets 25 mpg.
Gas:
100 miles / 15 mpg = 6.66 gallons x $3.40 = $22.644 per 100 miles!
Diesel:
100 miles / 25 mpg = 4 gallons x $3.75 per gal = $15 per 100 miles!The cost of fuel is the current price at the time of writing.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lets do the math&#8230; Lets say we drive 100 miles in a gas and diesel truck.
