Re: Why so little renewable energy 30 years after the sweater speach?

WRONG! 3.78 litres to a US gallon so I think about US$3.80 per US gallon. Here we would be a bit less likely to use LPG and a bit more likely to use LNG for vehicles. We already have a small LNG infrastructure for bus and fleet usage and a containerized infrastructure for forklifts and such (and patio bar-b-ques). I'm not sure about how we use LPG here. But since I only see it in train tankers and big trucks, I would guess it is used mainly in industrial processes. But I could easily be wrong about that. The big advantage here is the price of LPG, (approx US$1.50/gal) about 40% that of petrol. Not only that, but car conversions to run on dual fuel (petrol and LPG) are strongly subsidised by the Federal Gov. In my case, I was refunded A$2000 of the total cost of under A$2700. It doesn't take long to break even at that rate! Regards, Ray. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Look for the one labeled Bionic Woman - Trailer, It's 9 minutes long. Katee Sackhoff, the blond in the trailer, was also Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. She absolutely rocks. Even if this trailer wasn't as good as it has turned out to be, I would probably watch just to see her performance. -- Mauro Diotallevi Hey, Harry, you haven't done anything useful for a while -- you be the god of jello now. -- Patricia Wrede, 8/16/2006 on rasfc ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
Weekly Chat Reminder
As Steve said, The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over six years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but the chat goes on... and we want more recruits! Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion. We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly... -(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown. The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time. There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight hours after the start time. If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to do is send your web browser to: http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/ ..And you can connect directly from William's new web interface! My instruction page tells you how to log on, and how to talk when you get in: http://www.brin-l.org/brinmud.html It also gives a list of commands to use when you're in there. In addition, it tells you how to connect through a MUD client, which is more complicated to set up initially, but easier and more reliable than the web interface once you do get it set up. -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ This message was sent automatically using launchd.

Keith Olbermann hits hard
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20593445/ EXCERPT: Mr. Bush, our presence in Iraq must end. Even if it means your resignation. Even if it means your impeachment. Even if it means a different Republican to serve out your term. Even if it means a Democratic Congress and those true patriots among the Republicans standing up and denying you another penny for Iraq, other than for the safety and the safe conduct home of our troops. This country cannot run the risk of what you can still do to this country in the next 500 days. Not while you are playing. I was driving and listening to an Arab-American affairs radio show this evening when the host of the show played a clip of this opinion piece from Olbermann's show last night. xponent Taking It To The PUSA Maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
