Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Don't read if you have had enough BS

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

My point was, "Necessity" is already here.  Didn't Bush already propose 
identical CAFE standards similar to what Obama has proposed, years ago?  The 
issue isn't whether the standard is needed, but only when it is implemented 
(and whether it is technically feasible in the time alotted).  Fourteen States, 
and the DOC, wanted an even-higher number.  Obama's number might be one MPG 
less than Bush's number?
 
I believe the primary issue at-hand is whether the industry climate exists to 
provide the ROI that companies require to provide the technology to meet the 
new standard.  The market success of Alternative-Energy vehicles and Oil Market 
instability would indicate that it is.  The next Engineering team that solves 
this puzzle will be very wealthy - "Go and Do..."

If things get bad enough, then we'll see new technologies emerge......Remember, 
its Necessity that is the mother of invention, NOT Barack!!!!!!!

   ONLY VIABLE source of that much energy is nuclear.

   That you and I know of........at one time there were oxen, then
   horses, then steam then internal combustion and then electric and then
   nuclear and then internal combustion and then more internal combustion
   and then.........OK, so when do we start thinking again?  Or is this
   the start of the long slide..........
