My point is that we will need new power plants. No one is stepping upto say, “Yes put one Here in my part of town”. Some are so adamantly against it they don’t want new plants at all or even in their state. So far unless you happen to live in teh Pacific Northwest or next to Yellowstone park or other Geothermal active site, the chance that a large amount of your electrcity comes from “renewable sources” is vanishingly small. Even all those windmills you seein Texas and Ca don’t make that much electrcity compared to one of those steam plants. So for the rest of us we will need those nasty Hydrocarbon burning or Nuclear plants. As for NIMBY remember they had issues trying to put Windmills of the Cape Cod Coast in ultra liberal Mass. This doesn’t cover the environmental waste assciated with producing all these batteries. 15G will buy a lot of Gasoline.

You should probably do a little more research before you go accusing folks of something as serious as plagiarism. I’ve never done it in my life and I haven’t done it here.

Firstly, the original article appeared over at NASA’s Cassini page (listed at the end of my article under “source”). The article you found at saturndaily.com is in fact a plagiarism itself, giving no credit to the original article at NASA. In fact, saturndaily.com credits the writing to “staff writers” while at the same time using the exact words of the original article. That, sir, is plagiarism.

Secondly, as I indicated at the end of my post under the heading “source”, I got tuned into this topic via ScienceDaily, which got the press release from NASA.

Thirdly, all the calculations of how far the propane would take a car are my own based on the numbers available in the press release. Those are completely original calculations.

I know it makes you feel smug to think you “got me,” because for some reason you don’t like me (which I have yet to understand). But all you did, sir, is make yourself look bad. I believe you owe me an apology.

In the future, before you waste your time and mine with baseless accusations, please do some deeper research.

See my post about the Audi US President calling the Chevy Volt a “car for idiots” to understand why I think EVs are not a band-aid even given the current ratio of fossil fuel power to renewable power. That post is here:
