More efficiency could be a great thing here.

This comment references the following:

The efficiencies of the devices were only 2-3%, but Lieber suggests this could be improved.

Osmosus - Social Energy for a Green Planet

DavidRea's comment is:

Do you seriously want to "impose electric vehicles" or (I hope) do you mean that the government should support the creation of the appropriate infrastructure? The latter would allow entrepreneurs to be innovative without the cost and risk of building their own infrastructure, while the former just smacks of Soviet-style market authoritarianism. And look how well that worked.

This is just the beginning of the Bush administration's give aways. I love the southwest and the thought of those exploration trucks destroying the land for an energy source (natural gas) that is nothing more than a stop-gap measure makes me ill. Redford nails it in this post.

Maximilian Harmon's comment is:

Yeah I completely understand about being not sure. I feel like Trentway-Wagner just wants to conquer PickupPal and grab their business.

This comment references the following:

But Trentway-Wagar says its beef was simply that it is unfair they have to meet labor, environmental, and equipment standards to haul passengers around when services like PickupPal can arrange rides without doing any of that.

I'm not sure I understand how this is unfair. Is PickupPal profiting from this? The next paragraph says illegal ventures formed around websites like this, but why go after the website instead of the illegal business?

Hmmm. I do not know how I feel about this. Trentway-Wagar does have a point but you cannot deny people the right to assembly and finding their own rides. And shouldn't it be the passengers responsibility to check the ride before departing to make sure the necessary safety stickers were in place?

Jeff Jenkins's comment is:

This is a very interesting concept. I personally don't mind the black. I wonder if there could be tests run for the actual legibility difference. It a white background a legacy of the print days?

ballensworth's comment is:

I still have it as my default page even though I generally use the Google toolbar. Something more simple one can do is have a black background for the desktop. It's especially handy for laptops as the battery is used more slowly and it serves the same purpose.

I've heard this elsewhere- that white screens and white backgrounds on websites collectively account to a significant fraction of all global electricity used by computers, and correspondingly to a non-trivial percentage of all electricity over all. The trouble is, most folks prefer a white background for legibility, so it has not caught on as an environmental trend.

Osmosus - Social Energy for a Green Planet

Jason Murphy's comment is:

Our culture is built on the automobile - look around you. The shape of our cities and our trnsportation infrastructure has been molded by the car and the freedom of transport it affords. For most people every car they have ever bought has been 'absolutely necessary' (at least in their own eyes). And until a level playing-field has been created for electric vehicles (via legislation) there will never be any competitive advantage for car companies to offer them - in other words - there won't be any for interested consumers to see on a car lot or buy at a competitive price. Its a nice idea that we can improve things by driving less or by buying a more efficient car, but the goal here should be cut emissions in broad stokes particularly given the projected growth of car ownership in the third world If we had allowed business alone to deal with the CFC problem the ozone hole would still be growing. Instead, the people we elect o look after our interests (economic, social and environmental) passed legislation that was effective in getting the job done without strangling business. Its not socialist to provide a fair competive environment that encourages innovation for the greater good - all free markets require a framework to ensure that new ideas are not crushed. If we think a grass roots effort alone will break the cycle of ecomic imperatives that compel the motor industry to keep churning out vehicles based upon the technologies that they have come to depend on, particularly when there are still trillions of dollars worth of oil to still drill out of the ground, we are dreaming.
