I remember a whole lot of liberals saying the President doesn't make a whole lot of difference to the economy. Convenient memory you have. I remember a massive blame game. As I said, ask Lizzie. She was part of it. Does this help your memory? Just an example. Message 17367632 Which is true. Clinton didn't invent the PC or the cell phone; he just happened to be President when the massive rollout occured (and the massive bubble). Funny. I seem to remember Gore said he invented the internet. What makes me really skeptical is that I was on the 'net soon after it started and his name never came up. What he actually said was In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." perkel.com I somehow doubt that Gore ever heard of the Transmission Control Protocol, much less knows what it is or does. This strikes me as though FDR claimed he was behind the invention of the atomic bomb. He, I'm sure, never heard of the Hahn-Meitner Experiment nor understood its significance. The net began life in 1962 as DARPANET. The intention was to provide communications links to missile silos that could get launch orders through even if previous enemy nuclear strikes had broken more conventional links. inetdaemon.com Al Gore was born in 1948. en.wikipedia.org How much do you REALLY think he had to do with that? He was 14! re: Oh, they will. If high capacity cheap batteries can be developed with technology available now and a few years from now. I think it will be a transition... from plug-in hybrids that get maybe 50 miles on electric to eventually all electric. Could be a 10-15 year process before the majority of passenger cars are all EVs. Maybe. Depends ultimately on wat physics and chemistry will allow. And on economic factors like the price of the matterials involved and the cost of competing alternatives such as alternative fuel vehicles. re: I hope electric cars make a comeback too (they were among the 1st autos). There are lots of ways of generating electricity. I look forward to the day when the Arabs have to learn to eat sand. Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. HEAR THAT, MAMA NATURE???? WE WANT GOOD CHEAP HIGH-ENERGY BATTERIES NOW!
