Rechargeable Batteries: A Great Innovation of Today's Technology
Rechargeable batteries are definitely one of the most powerful as well as a useful creation as a result of today's technology.
Why did it take O'Bama 17 minutes and 2,500 words to answer this question from a woman in Charlotte, NC?
Obama's 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman's claim of being 'over-taxed' by Anne E. Kornblut Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package. "We are over-taxed as it is," Doris said bluntly. Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said. He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer - more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (he referred to this last item by its inside-the-Beltway name, "F-Map"). He talked about the notion of eliminating foreign aid (not worth it, he said). He invoked Warren Buffett, earmarks and the payroll tax that funds Medicare (referring to it, in fluent Washington lingo, as "FICA"). Always fond of lists, Obama ticked off his approach to health care -- twice. "Number one is that we are the only -- we have been, up until last week, the only advanced country that allows 50 million of its citizens to not have any health insurance," he said. A few minutes later he got to the next point, which seemed awfully similar to the first. "Number two, you don't know who might end up being in that situation," he said, then carried on explaining further still. "Point number three is that the way insurance companies have been operating, even if you've got health insurance you don't always know what you got, because what has been increasingly the practice is that if you're not lucky enough to work for a big company that is a big pool, that essentially is almost a self-insurer, then what's happening is, is you're going out on the marketplace, you may be buying insurance, you think you're covered, but then when you get sick they decide to drop the insurance right when you need it," Obama continued, winding on with the answer. Halfway through, an audience member on the riser yawned. But Obama wasn't finished. He had a "final point," before starting again with another list -- of three points. "What we said is, number one, we'll have the basic principle that everybody gets coverage," he said, before launching into the next two points, for a grand total of seven. His wandering approach might not matter if Obama weren't being billed as the chief salesman of the health-care overhaul. Public opinion on the bill remains divided, and Democratic officials are planning to send Obama into the country to persuade wary citizens that it will work for them in the long run. It was not evident that he changed any minds at Friday's event. The audience sat politely, but people in the back of the room began to wander off. Even Obama seemed to recognize that he had gone on too long. He apologized -- in keeping with the spirit of the moment, not once, but twice. "Boy, that was a long answer. I'm sorry," he said, drawing nervous laughter that sounded somewhat like relief as he wrapped up. But, he said: "I hope I answered your question." (read the full article at the link)
Obama's answer to Doris' question reflects his dual commitment to providing health care for her and easing her tax burden. He is systemically and singlehandedly boring Doris to death, which not reduces her need for government-run health care, it also lowers her taxes because she won't be around to pay them anymore. (Great article. Thanks for posting.)

Effectivness and general plan on current sciences to halt global warming in the transpotation sector?
I have been reading many articles about electric cars, bio-diesel and hydrogen gas to be used in vehicles. With all of these options however, I don't see how they will be able to reduce global warming.Take electric powered cars, plug-in. Car makers such as Toyota are planning on mass producing these in the near future. When you really think about it we get most of our electricity from either burning of gasoline or coal. These produce a mass portion of pollution in the U.S. and in order to power cars with electrictity would be even less efficient when you take into the account of the power lost when power travels through power lines and the somewhat primitive battery technology we have today. When you think about it, burning oil right at the car is truly the best way to go. I am under the impression that these new "alternative" designs just exploit the ineptness of US buyers. I am 15 years old and encourage you to exploit the flaws in my thinking. Knowledge is enlightenment they say
You are correct! The fuel will be burned at the plant or in the car, so it really does not matter in the long run. Some may say that it's more efficient, not really. Like you say, A significant amount of power loss occurs while electricity travels over long power lines, while charging batteries, and will also be frustrating to the driver when he has to plug in every night and then deal with the batteries whenever they go bad with time. About the best thing to do is make cars more efficient, but I don't feel that this energy bill is the right way to do it either. As people want to move, they will. The gov should not force anything upon it's people! So until we have Mr. Fusion (Back to the Future 2) we will be using gas. Let me give you a lesson about Bio-Fuels. I am a 19 year old farmer, hence the name "tractordriver88", and we farmers are all about bio fuels because it's good for our business. But as an average citizen, i think it's a joke. Bio fuels were created because the amount of corn was rising due to increased efficiency and production in farming, and the markets were growing smaller. But then, someone figured out that ethanol and bio-diesel were good in engines, they started building plants that will take this corn and turn it into ethanol. Suddenly, everyone thought it was the answer to the world's problems because it's earth friendly. Now the UN is calling us traitors for turning food into fuel when we could be sending it over seas to the poor people. But, like any other business, we are going to give our corn to the people who pay the most, and right now, it is the ethanol plants. So, their is profit to be made from bio-fuels, but like any other craze, it will end.
