Plus, th majority of propane is domestic, so it rids ourselves of dependancy on other countries.
plus, gas is smelly and dirty. SCREW OIL COMPANIES!!

yeah, im not a big fan of the oil industry, they have to strong a hold on the government. So they can push American politicies how ever they want. But, I cant diss them to much cuz they pay the bills around here...
as for the scent added to the natural gas, I havent been able to find anything on it.

I saw today on tv a process that turns turkeys into crude oil. basically it takes the leftovers, and heats them up decomposing them into the oil. The neet thing is, they said the oil is produced cheaper per barrel than the current prices. They also said that if all of the us poultry companies were to use this, we could become independant of over seas resources.
Im thinking I need to start raising turkeys to lower my gas prices

The government doesn't subsidize alternate fuel sources in the same way they subsidize oil distribution, so its more expensive. Also, renewable energy sources tend to be inefficient. You need a fair bit of wind, or sun, or whatever to get useful amounts of power. Of course the main part of the problem is that we use too much energy to begin with. Our appliances should be more economical, and we should use them less often. Lighting needs to switch over to LEDs, which use only 10-20% of the power of incandecent bulbs, use the air-conditioner less often (buy a fan!), etc.

Well I dont agree with you about the airconditioning...here in Texas it gets pretty hot in the summer. However I do know that there are more efficent systems, that circulate water underground or in ponds. They are considerably more expensive than airconditioner units (well at least for home use)

Yeah, I heard about this several months ago after it was posted to the Electric Vehicle Discussion List. At first I didn't believe it, but after reading the website I realized how cool it was.
Funny thing is that my first thought was that we could throw people in there instead of prison...

This quote from the article has always stuck with me:
"If a 175-pound man fell into one end, he would come out the other end as 38
pounds of oil, 7 pounds of gas, and 7 pounds of minerals, as well as 123
pounds of sterilized water."
It continues to say that the value of which would be just under $100....We now have the official number on the value of one person. 
While not 175 LBs, we can start with Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Roseanne (which definitly excees the 175 quota), Carrot Top, N'SYNC, Aaron Carter.....
