Ask the people who sell and service/repair small engines/equipment,
about ethanol.Pick up your phone and ask them.

Since the 1980's when it was evident that Ethanol was
going to be part of the Fuel Mixture of many Countries
the 'composite' of the Materials in many/most Automobile
Engines has changed ever so slightly to improve their
Ethanol Wear & Endurance {Resistance} Tolerance.

it simply ain't an engine problem anymore ~ RHF

I tried to buy 100 watt bulbs at WalMart yesterday. They had none.

However, I did get six 95 watt bulbs. It appears that the regulations
set standards for bulb naming. Have we been getting cheated by
"100 watt" bulbs that only consume 95 watts? Another proof of the
inherent dishonesty of free-trade capitalism?

(and the "95"s claim to produce 100 watts of light)

I see no diff in incandescent vs. flourescent. *The latter lasts a lot
longer, too. *Bunch of whining by poor mothe****ers who apparently
can't afford to splurge the extra 2 bones for the better bulb.


Quit whining and go get a job that pays more, losers.
-
Every one of those "high efficiency" bulbs I have bought have been pieces
of
crap....sensitive to direction of mounting, and limited life. *There is
no
way that a pile of those crappy bulbs in the trash bin is more efficient
than a single incandescent.


Do you have cite in California law that incandescent bulbs will be sold? I
mean
other than one lone wingnut.

That's nice. Can't you refine it to a single paragraph?

paragraph.

Kiss your 100-watt lightbulb goodbye

By Tracy Seipel

Californians can start saying goodbye to traditional 100-watt
incandescent light bulbs now that the state has become the first in
the country to require a new standard for the screw-base bulbs.

Experts say the new rules, which took effect New Year's Day, will save
residents money and energy. California is already the nation's leader
in energy-efficiency standards.

As of Saturday, what used to be a 100-watt light bulb manufactured and
sold in California will have to use 72 watts or less. The 72-watt
replacement bulb, also called an energy-saving halogen light, will
provide the same amount of light, called lumens, for lower energy cost.

b) The citation DOES have a Table of Contents


I would respectfully suggest that you do a -little- of your own homework.


So it follows this is another wingnut pile of crap. A made up crisis to let you
rant.

Want more? I can produce literally hundreds of articles.

How is it possible that a story this widely distributed went unnoticed
by you, someone who imagines himself to be politically involved?

Oh, right, you've willed yourself stupid.

- Yeah, I remember when you assholes said the same sort of thing about
- Ethonal. Â*It was going to be better for the environment, it was
going
- to make America energy independent. Â*It was going to be great.

At 5% Ethanol a 20 Gallon Tank of Gas has
19 Gals of Imported Oil and 1 Gal of Domestic
Ethanol : That One Less Gal of Imported Oil
and I am OK with that. Â*IMHO - The USA
should be moving to 85% Gas-A-Hol to reduce
Imported Oil by another 10%. ~ RHF


It takes 21 pounds of corn to make a gallon of Ethanol, which needs
imported oil to be grown and harvested. Imported oil is also needed
to convert corn into Ethanol. I've linked a site which explains the
numbers, but the end result is that Ethanol consumes more imported oil
than it saves. Oh, and it also causes world starvation.

There's a reason that even Al Gore has turned against this:

When anyone speaks of running their, or anothers', food though a gas
tank, you will have to excuse me, but I think FOOL!


Now, if they find a way to use sewage as a base to make alcohol out of,
I will accept that ...

Is the shortage of food making Americans fat?


No, but it is killing Mexicans. Seems that American corn WAS their
food staple.
