Well I want to settle on another planet. And we've found those planets. Why are we still here? We have rocket ships. We need to focus on direction. Tomorrow we're all blasting off for Gliese 581c.

Interestingly, we have an electric-based transport system here in the northeast. I'll let you guess what it is.

I was just trying to address the "but I can't use an electric car to commute to work" argument before someone made an idiot of themselves by claiming that EV's can only go 20 miles between charges.

your site lists 20% total for nat gas - and that is for energy use. I thought you were talking for electric power generation which is the figures I quoted.
