Now I saw a little clip about Obama's speech today in w/e city he was in. He was saying how their closed factories were gonna build wind turbines and solar panels and and that we will invent a green car before any other country.

For one, how would he use wind turbines to power cars, and secondly solar panels cant really power a modern car. If I ever go to the other site where we talked about this I will find my calculation that stated the surface area we needed of solar panels to power a car, but it was way more than the total surface area of a car lol.

I dont know if he just doesn't know these kinds of facts or if he is just giving people false hopes.


in effort to get back on topic.

i think you misinterpreted what he was saying. other people in the form have addressed this so i will go to your other comment

Solar panels cannot power the modern car, you are correct but only half correct.

Chevy has a new car they are showing around to boost interest it is called the Chevy Volt. It is what is called a plug in hybrid. It plugs into a wall at night to charge. it has a small gas engine that is meant to charge the batteries that power the electric motor that powers the car.

The Chevy volt has an optional photo voltaic roof. in other words a solar panel. The solar panels are meant to charge the car while it is parked and unable to plug in.

So yes solar panels themselves cannot power a car but they can recharge the batteries that do.

the ultimate goal would be to invent a battery that is compact and can hold a greater charge than "modern" batteries. doing so could take the gas engine out of a car like the Chevy Volt and allowing it to charge by plug and photo voltaic alone.

this is the type of car that Obama and others are speaking about.

most of the times i stay out of politics,but i would have to say i dont trust mccain as far as the rest of those crooked ****s in washington..at least obama seems to be for the people where by mccain seems to be about himself and following the last 8 years of shyt...i dont see our boys coming home from the war with mccain..,
the fact is this Iraq is an unwinnable war as long as you have a constant supply of insurgents coming from the bordering countries,sounds like another viet nam ,and the fact remains this war was more about revenge not logic,but its our young men that will continue to pay the price,
i think if obama got in office he would clean out some of those deep seated crooks in washington...
so let me get this straight we just gave billions of dollars to our government who has already showed the propensity to spend it unwisely..ok lets not forget the over sight committee who discovers the miss spending after the money is gone and theres no way to recuperate our losses
we rushed to hand over money when those who voted on it dont know the whole plan or whether it will work ahile the government gives ahalf percent interest cut to make it look as if the 700 billion is doing the job...yea right ..wake up ..
oh and while we talk about democracy being for the people and by the people how come it wasnt us that voted on how they would spend OUR money..starting to sound a little socialist here..
but more than likely that mccain will make it into office because thats how washington would want to see it ..he would fit right in with the rest of those over paid crooked azz phucks
i wonder if i wrote the government and told them i made a few bad investments with other peoples money if they would bail me out so that i could treat all my minglers to one hell of a spa party..yep sounds like the plan is working to me....NOT

again with the draggin people's names through the muck, why not let the election run its course instead of coming on here and slinging mud at the candidates? lol


hating based on party is stupid and it limits your options. both of those douchebags suck and will not be a good president. we need to hope mccain gets in, dies of a heart attack and someone smart can manipulate palin into doing some good.

Maybe Obama talks too fast for some, huh? I understand him perfectly.

Now McCain with his twitches, stuttering and trolling look does bother me. Oh and don't forget all of his lies, oh many many lies.


Naw, Obama speaks very well.... No arguments there. This is his strong suit...flowerforyou


yes well they say if you can't dazzle them with brilliance...baffle them with BS... that's OBAMA.
