Gotta wonder just how much carbon got emitted by all those representatives, dignitaries, politicians, Beautiful People, etc, all going to Durban South Africa to talk about how much carbon is being emitted...

There's a company here in Austin making electric motorcycles.  Unfortunately, they are all for export!

http://www.statesman.com/business/technology/austin-based-kld-energy-looks-to-make-mark-2026140.html

Like it or not, it is the wave of the future. Sad 

I just hope they ride good and go fast! coolsmiley

Oh no!  "Loud Pipes Save Lives" won't work any more! Shocked

They'll probably make that "puttering" sound like the vehicles on the Jetsons. ???

Gas prices will be over $4.00 per gallon making it very expensive to use our vehicles with internal combustion engines...wait...that's already happened! Angry

...just some thoughts of the future... Wink
