Light, Sexy And Fun To Drive says Business week. The Loremo makes some remarkable claims. Like gas milage. 157 miles per gallon. That would get me from my house to New York City on less than a gallon of gas. That's $2.50 in gas and $36 in tolls. I, for one, would buy one of these in a heartbeat provided the safety and mpg claims actually stand up. Color me skeptical. The use of plastics and composites are certainly long overdue but I suspect regulation will add significant weight and cost to make the car perform much less than spec'd. Even so, if you dropped the milage by half it would still far outperform anything on the road today. If and when these come to market, they will be wildly popular and could have significant downward pressure on prices at the pump. Here's hoping.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
