In defense of 4x4's, SUV's, or any other modern car

Ok, let's get a few things straight here, firstly, I do not work for BMW, nor do I own a BMW X5, nor am I being paid by BMW to post this. I'm defending BMW, and in particular its X5 range against the ever increasing luddite, childish, small-minded attacks being made on it from the Alliance Against Urban 4x4's , and Greenpeace. The prejudice of the bike-riding, muesli eating greens knows no bounds - their attacks on big cars like the BMW X5 has nothing to do with combatting carbon emissions, but, everything to do with attacking the type of people who drive them. I've heard drivers of 'Chelsea tractors' being referred to as 'vulgar', 'greedy', and just plain 'selfish'. Greenpeace, in their lastest advertisment no longer mind their language, and simply calls anyone who drives such cars a 'prick' , and a 'wanker'.

Simple answer to urban car congestion - build more roads!

Ok... I'll hold my hand up, and admit I love cars and motoring. I passed my test when I was 21, my first car was a secondhand Nissan Stanza, I soon wrote that off on the central reservation in Park Lane. So, I decided to save up some money and buy a new car, a Peugeot 205 Ralle. Loved it - drove it all over the UK, and Europe. Today, it seems that the attitude towards cars, their owners, roads and motoways, have changed drasticly over the past 20 years. If you ask me, the Mayor of London, Ken Livinstone perfectly encapsulates contemporary attitude towards cars "I hate cars. If I ever get any power again, I'll ban the lot" . This seems to be the solution to car congestion on offer by everyone these days, from New Labour to the entire environmentalists movement - the message is simple enough, 'get out of your car', and get a push bike, or jump on the bus instead. Better still... walk. Yeah right... as if.

Nuclear Power to be questioned in a Peak Oil context at Imperial College, L

An event looking at Nuclear Power in a context of declining global oil supplies will take place at Imperial College, London on Tuesday March 21st starting at 6.30pm. There is increasing awareness that energy prices are not going to get any cheaper. Britain is currently on the edge of a gas crisis, threatening industry, while oil prices have settled above $60 a barrel. Chief Executives at both Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell have said the era of easy oil is over. The claims that we are imminently approaching the global peak in oil production are gathering in intensity and validity. At the same time, the race is on to change our electricity generation to one that emits far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels, due to the threat of Climate Change. With a large section of Britain’s current crop of power stations coming to the end of their lives by 2020, there are many who are calling for Nuclear Power to be the answer to these questions.

pedestrians

Life is very difficult for the pedestrian all over India because almost all roads lack footpaths and we have a very arrogant, selfish upper class which likes to terrorise people walking on streets. This is severely undermining the democratic process.

Car trouble

I am a non driver fed up with facing major problems in my life due to not having a car. I am surely not the only one who finds shopping difficult, a social life nearly impossible, public transport inconvenient and expensive and the only one to have noticed the discrimination against us when it comes to some jobs. The words 'Must have a current,clean driving license and use of a car' are appearing more and more often in job descriptions. I am so fed up with the social exclusion that I face, despite the fact that in not driving I am helping the environment. People who use cars who know me wo

Pedestrian rights

I'm increasingly annoyed by cars in the city. They're noisy, they are latently aggressive and they give the driver a false sense of security and impregnability. I'm fed up with having to stand at the crossing (why must I only cross at this point?) often in wind and rain, and wait until people sitting in luxury slide past in their warm fluffy interiors. Then the green man shows and I can barely make it to the other side in time. Why must the pedestrian, using a natural and clean form of transport, play second fiddle to the car?

It would be nice...

...if public transportation (primarily via Train) came back into "vogue" and became more prevalent. I need my pickup truck to get my waste to the dump/recycle center, but I would surely take a train to and from work if it were available. Mike

free energy is indeed available

not only from hydrogen energy, but also by tapping into the quantum energy or 'zero point' energy field. this is the most basic and powerful energy in the universe. it is also, fantastically enough, related to other life in the universe. ufo's seem to run on it. dr. steven greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, speaks in an interview on this zero point energy on http://disclosureproject.org

the Bush theory

the Bush theory provides that the invasion of Iraq will give us oil. the oil provides us with power. The oil will only last 30 years people. We need to concentrate only better, cleaner, more efficient forms of energy such as plain, distilled water. Take a fish tank full of distilled water and run the current of a full nine-volt battery through it. This will separate the oxygen and hydrogen atoms making the hydrogen suitable to burn. The only by product is steam, which can be condensed, collected and used again. Solar energy, we know it works, why not use it? STOP BURNING THE COAL AND OI
