OT Salutations Okay, I have to laugh! Thanks for the correction. I hereby change my post [excerpt follows] to just the last little bit... "...nature of it despite the obvious fact that it is NOT a nice day for people who will read it. Maybe 'I'm having a great day' wouldn't carry the suggestion that everyone should be considering things a nice day...oh, I don't know...something like that...okay, I don't know what I'm talking about]" Have a nice day, to coin a phrase. Mqurice [having not such a good one - here anyway] Dow 8099 coming up, well, down! Dow 16,000 Feb 2002 How's that for a salutation? PS: Valueman, my ex-boss in BP used to work on hydrogen for vehicles and he was keen on it, but I think it's too hopeless. Fossil fuels are fine. Ditch the diesels or give them particulate traps, low sulphur, high cetane, low aromatics, tax diesel and you'll be on the way to getting clean air. Don't tax income, tax fuel and that will make people use it efficiently and have huge incomes with which to buy WWeb devices from us. Forget fuel cells for vehicles. Too expensive. Fuel cell buses might just be economic, but I doubt it. Hydrogen is too unmanageable. Better designed, low aromatic, high octane gasoline would be better. Give cars over 5 years old pollution tests and get them off the road if too stinky, or give them an invoice for pollution rights. Fossil fuels are fine if designed and used well. New cars use nearly no lubricant, burn very cleanly, even without catalytic converters, especially if lean burn was acceptable. Catalytic converters take a while to light up and stoichiometic burning is grotty for the first part of the travel, which is much of it. Don't invest in Ballard! Meanwhile, another big selloff in Q! today, 3 million shares. I'm bemused by the huge amount of selling we've seen in the past month or so as people bail out in fear of it going up some more. Oh well, to each their own. Some people managed to get out at $80, just before convergence.
