That was a pretty cool show. Marc, I loved your comment "we're here to beat the national record, not some guy on batteries." That thing does sound like an electric drill on steroids. Glad to see you and Connie getting some well-deserved exposure.

That electric bike was an interesting piece of equipment, however I doubt they will ever come close to running the ET and MPH of gas powered bikes!

Re: Connie Cohen On Discovery Channel

believe it or not if it had more tire controls in the speed control it would goat least into the high sevens.bandamereonly allowed it to run in the right lane
because when it left the starting line it would rip up the rubber in one inch
chunks.

Re: Connie Cohen On Discovery Channel

Great stuff for the team - Hope it results in dividends sooner than later.

Meantime, that electric bike is pretty amazing technology.

Personally, I've pooh-poohed a lot of this, so-called, green stuff - as guilt marketing. That is, getting people to spend big-bucks to feel better with poor value products.
I'm still skepticle but, maybe the technology is coming around.

BTW: Did anybody figure if that Chevy truck was the real deal?

Well, if we can separate "hype" and feel-good B.S. and outright fraud, we might be able to get away from our oil addiction.

No diss intended - Sherm B, but, recycling veggy oil seems less practical on a MASS BASIS than Corn-based Ethanol.

BTW: Did anyone see the Sugar Ethanol (vending machine processor) on Geraldo's show on FOC Cable last night. Now THAT one smelled like the fraud in the Dick Tracy comics - where they put a midget in a machine and had him repair your shoes (that's a quaint notion). Mark me down as skeptical that one can liberate enough energy from a few pounds of sugar to run your car for a day.

PS: I'm giving SEROIUS consderation to converting my Classic GMC Motorhome to LPG. Seems deceptively simple (ca $2,500.), North American fuel source and the economics seem to work out.

Anyone who thinks this economy can survive for even a week without Oil is either Stupid or dumb or both! Without the 18 wheelers on the road transporting EVERYTHING we consume to the marketplace, this country would come to a standstill in about 3-4 days! And Ethanol is just as big of a scam is anything else, these environmentalists wackos think they always know how they're going to save this planet. And all they ever do is screw it up even more! Food prices are at all time highs because they think putting corn in gas tanks was somehow going to lower the price of oil by $40 a barrel! I guess it didn't work did it?

As we are here in time (2008), We cannot see nor understand the technology that will exist in 20 or even 10 years from now.
I am 52, and I'll bet that before I hang up my keys for good, I will be driving a electric vehicle.

I never mentioned ethanol, its nonsense.

I do see the future in battery powered vehicles, I have a friend that works for a local heavy equipment battery manufacturer, and he told me some "shocking" stuff is coming down the road even now.

I for one would not mind at all being able to pass the gas station and never look back.

I also did hear recently that ol' Algore is getting some flack for his insistence concerning global warming.

Seems people are getting a bit tired of his whining and beginning to question the validity of the argument for.

I believe conservation of every resource we have at our disposal is a good idea.

Hysteria over what "might" happen, is not.
