The Denial Industry

I doubt anyone would disagree with you. Liquid fuels will be with us a long time. But, if we can manage to reduce the demand for them through efficiency and displament (electric cars for the day to day transportation needs, for example) then we can produce a sufficient amount of liquid fuels from sources other than fossil fuels. The fact that liquid fuels are energy dense isn't really germane to the topic at hand, however.

 

Ignoring GW by ignoring all the contributing factors and refusing to act in all areas of emissions creation right down to the individual household because you think it's all a "marketing Ploy" is in my opinion (and many others) the wrong thing to be wrong about.

 

I have an electric chainsaw and a small gas generator. And yes, I have used the generator to run the chain saw when I was away from someplace to plug it in. So there!

 

thanks for being honest!

 

Some people if they had to have a chainsaw to use near home would choose a clean running quiet electric one and for work down the back paddock a petrol saw with a bigger bar to cut those longer cuts.

Just like we should think about our transport needs isn't it?
Electric for commuting and a liquid hydrocarbon powered car for longer journeys and it may be worth renting for the once or twice a year trip.
After all most of us commute 95% of our miles so it makes sense to have a vehicle which is right 95% of the time rather than buying a vehicle that is right for the 5% and driving that vehicle for 100% of your miles.
