Or maybe, you could just try to improve your technology.

But that would be to "progressive", I suppose.

First step in doing so is to correct the lib definition of progress

If anything it would be the combustion engine that fails that incline. Electric motors have more torque than you can shake a stick at. But if you like noise, smells, rising costs and reliance on the Arab world then keep drawing stupid obtuse cartoons.

Ah I see where you are confused..

Note no where did anyone say anything about torque..

As for the picture, it was provided to highlight the fact that alternative fuels are a joke..

As in you will end up pushing your car if your counting on alternative fuels to power it..

Which is not to say alternatives fuels will allways be a joke.. There is some interesting stuff going on with alge based deisl fule production..

The point of all this is the goverment can not force it to happen

I am all for the goverment funding investagative projects into alternative fuels, what I dont aprove is them forcing it on people.

It is hard to know where to begin when somebody is as ignorant as you on this subject, technologically and politically, but I can give you the benefit of the doubt that you may just be in the pay of an industry which would not benefit without change. You could well be brainwashed by them, or just be an idiot.

I don't expect you to be able to answer this but could you please remind us all what the most abundant element in the Universe is?

Why is it the greenie liberals socialists get so upset and have to resort to name calling when someone disagrees with them?

[Osprey]

I didn't call you any names, that is unless you are confessing to being the 'idiot' out of the choices you had in front of you. Still, that didn't stop you from calling me a 'greenie liberal socialist' in the same sentence I prefer 'progressive' myself, that's opposite to 'luddite', those same sorts of people who opposed the train by claiming nonsense such as people would disintegrate if they travelled at over 30mph.

What I find ironic is that you are calling others socialists and liberals but then suggest that central Government fund development? Isn't that just what socialism is? Also, 'liberal' means believing in personal choice and freedom, so again, another oxymoron from you. You don't want it 'rammed down your throat' but you aren't a liberal?

Please try to understand the meanings of the words you are choosing because tbh it's making you look a bit dim old boy.

One of my best friends is a doctor (of medicine) who heads up a major department of the World Health Organisation. I think he would be disgusted by the (usual) politicisation of an organisation which has been invaluable to so many people in the world. Without their dedicated hard work many of the major diseases would have gone pandemic throughout the entire world by now. Yet some of you seem to confuse medicine with liberalism. Step back and see how pathetic your attitude is.
