Jam Heavy

"The Current economy is like a sick patient who needs to be nursed back to health before doing a rigorious 5k daily run. How can you jam heavy spending on health care, energy, & education into the budget before nursing the economy back to health 1st?"

There's wrong in every bite!

"In less than 30 years we invented space flight and went to the moon. Our wars and foreign policy problems seem to be increasingly energy-centric and we have had no significant innovation to the internal combustion engine since it was invented. Why?"

I believe you meant "What?"

"Sir, Is Nuclear energy safe? If we don’t want the Nuclear waste on our planet could we put it on a rocket and send it to an area of the universe that will take 400 million light-years to reach?"

Bringing Things to Life

"Mr. President, perpetual-motion is possible. NETL, and doe have blocked me for years because GE demands ownership and the status quo. A magnet powered engine the size of a minivan can produce 37,000 ft.lbs. tourqe=$3mil. of electricity per month.sos"
J. D., Canton, Ms.

Next time, save 'perpetual motion' for last. Something like that, you've got to ease into it.

As Used in the smart fortwo

"In '93 electric fork lifts ran 24/7.They went 10mph and weighed over 5k #. & carried 5k # of freight thru a 500,000 sq ft warehouse, these units ran for 8+ hrs and were recharged when necessary.why hasnt this technology been trans. to cars"
Hank, Largo, Florida

It's easier to just put turn signals and a seatbelt on the forklift.

Who Speaks For Wolf?

"In the spirit of the book, "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, why aren't we making natural gas, oil, and especially biodiesel, and undercutting our Latin American neighbors?"
GabeTaijeron, Hampton, VA

Admittedly, it's been a while since I read 'The Lorax,' but I don't remember anything in there about undercutting Latin American biodiesel.
