    Does anyone know how many billions the government collects
    in fuel taxes. Where will they get the same amount of money when the fuel
    runs out one day? Tax on wind turbines?
    Wasn't it Sheik Y'amani that said the western governments make more money out of oil than the Arabs do selling it.

        Climate Change- another pointless argument brought on by those who believe that they have found another way of making money.

        Does anyone seriously believe that the human race will survive long enough to see the sun explode and kill us all in 3 billion years whatever we do to save the planet in the meantime??

          More likely to be tax on fusion generators.

            He is right about asbestos AFAIK. Studies covered the blue sort and the white sort was simply assumed to present the same danger.

            I hope so anyway, in a previous job before it was dangerous I used asbestos string to seal duct joints, we used a wall heater for four years that turned out to use asbestos string to support the elements and my garage has an asbestos ceiling.
