Because I'm traveling for work and haven't had a chance to keep up on this thread (bit surprised to see all the comments); ,

I don't want to listen to someone tell me to cut consumption, if they haven't already done the same..........Kind of like John Kerry telling us how wrong it was for Bush to pull out of Kyoto (which was in essence already dead) and then driving around Sun Valley in the family Suburban.

I don't like it when people say that either. But in this case I'm doing everything I can to cut my consumption. Even it their wasn't any talk of global warming, I being doing what I can to cut back on pollution. I can live with someone throwing a banana peel out the window (biodegradable). But just driving a Hummer, cuz it's 'cool' bothers me.

But just because Al Gore says something and then doesn't follow through on it himself shouldn't deter anyone from doing the correct thing. The planet has been here for 5 billion years, humans have been here for about 3 million years. We're just Johnny-come-latelys and need to play Earth's rules. Columbus discovered America at one second before midnight on the cosmic calendar (which begins at the start of the universe 13 billions years ago), according to Carl Sagan.

So if you don't want to listen to Al Gore, try Carl Sagan. Everyone likes Sagan, right?

A buddy told me that GM is not making the H2 anymore. I don't know if that's true, or not.
