quoting JTEK from Club4ag: “Never mind that carbied 5.0, I’m gonna keep the ‘Rolla and drop that!”

I think I figured out a long while back that the Sulzer has the power of about 600 Jettas. I was bored. Very.

why waste earth’s precious natural resources on an oversized engine?

what happened to environmentally safer alternatives??

WHATS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD??????????

I am guessing you noticed, but just in case: It’s a ship motor. XP And as far as most environmentalists I kno, nuclear reactors are not evironmentally safer (though they’re much more safe than any other power plant, here in America).

huh?

who was talking about nuclear reactors? they are worse!

im talking environmentally friendly, environmentally being the key word. I’m thinking solar, wind, water etc.

so i wouldn’t dare disagree with your environmentalist friends.

who needs a ship that big? if you need a ship that big maybe reconsider the need for trade.

Yes, that’s right, let’s reconsider an activity that we have partaken in for the greater part of human history, and promotes human flourishing on the whole (not trying to open a can of worms here).

XP Who needs a ship that big? The US, of course! If we were to lose such large amounts of trade we would be out of a lot of business! Sheesh, I likely wouldn’t have been boring if we hadn’t had trade on the west coast of North America, I can’t be thankful enough for it!

And hey! Nuclear reactors make life fun! They make nuclear tumbleweed! Okay, so they’re not environmentally safe :: YET ::, but once those stupid-arse Republicans and Nevadans quit arguing against the spent fuel rod conversion sites (they convert it into glass and still put it in 100 feet of concrete), I’m going to keep calling them death-loving, oil-ed up monkey nuts. Oil isn’t a renewable resource and we need to get over that here in the US, big time. Not to mention it is pervasive and still pretty bad for the environment. I think the Republicans and Detroit are just stalling to try to keep their wallets fatter than their brains.

Any day of the week I’d love to have a solar powered electric car. They make buttloads of torque, something we Americans cannot get enough of (see also: The recent ruining of what was once the peak of the internal combustion engine powered vehicles, the Honda S2000.). And when I lived in Washington, most of our power came from dams. Yeah the dams were b*tch to the salmon and the “fish ladders” sucked and killed off quite a few runs of salmon, but we were on to something that is self-renewing, so much better than oil and not to mention clean. Let’s see some of those tidal fan powerplants on the west coast, that’d be nice and clean.

hear hear

(i presume you weren’t being sarcastic)

Heh. Yeah, like its just Republicans.

I wasn’t being sarcastic. Thanks :)
