Sad but true.
Yes, it is too bad that none of that newly found oil and gas that forms reserves that extend into the next century and has already profoundly depressed energy market prices, can possibly used to manufacture to manufacture solar panels, windmills or heaven forbid nuclear power plants ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104207 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
