yes, water vapor is definitely a major cause of global warming...its won't deter global warming at all, especially if every car in the world takes on the new hydrogen technologies which produce more water
....now if we can only run an engine with existing water as a means of propulsion and returns water as a by product...i dream.

pretty interesting, somehow they are able to make the engine work for a longer period....
"The MDI con-rod system allows the piston to be held at Top Dead Centre for 70º of the cycle."
"When there is no combustion, there is no pollution. The vehicle's driving range is close to twice that of the most advanced electric cars (from 200 to 300 km or 8 hours of circulation) This is exactly what the urban market needs where, as previously mentioned, 80% of the drivers move less than 60Km. a day."

LOL! Your posts weren't too bad, and I wasn't trying to attack you as much as the "documentary."
When you start scratching below the surface, the polish on the veneer quickly fades.
I was all for the electric car when it first occured. I used to read the EV1 issue of Popular Mechanics over and over, but the technology just didn't pan out.
Now, we can either take the lesson and move on, or we can piss and moan and point fingers, and force legislation all to prove AGAIN that it doesn't work.
My biggest problem is that the ultra liberal faction of Hollywood wants to blame everything that doesn't go their way on the evil gas companies or the Republicans, when 90% of the time that is just pure bullshit.
Then when pissing and moaning doesn't work, they make a "documentary."
Only it isn't really a "documentary" because it isn't a fair and unbiased appraisal of the situation. It is a one sided peice of "art" that is used to promote an agenda. At that point it isn't a documentary at all. It is propaganda.
The problem with propaganda is that for most people who aren't going to look below the surface, they believe it hook line and sinker as long as the term "documentary" is attached to it. Why? because it is drilled into our heads as little kids that "documentaries" are good for our brain and nobody would ever lie to us...
In many cases that is true. Usually, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, PBS etc are fairly unbiases and get as in depth as they can in the time allotted.
You will also notice that with a true "documentary" they will typically address that there are more questions than answers and we don't know all of the answers... They also don't choose sides. They only present relevant information.
Then we have this new trend in Hollywood of which Michael Moore is the fat bastard on the spearhead.
This new trend is to take politically biased information, and present in a manner that seems to be neutral and benign to try and push an agenda.
This is not as overt as what the Nazi's in Germany did, but it is EXACTLY the same tactic.
Bowling for Columbine is a good example. The only thing that was clear at the end of that movie (it seemed to be about nothing) was Moore's desire for gun control.
Farenheit 911 is another good example. Everything in that "documentary" was about how evil Bush was.
They specifically mentioned a gas pipe that was built during Bush's first term...
Had it been an actual "documentary" they would have mentioned that Bill Clinton was actually the President who signed the bill into law that lead to the creation of that pipeline.
Instead, they presented it in such a manner as to make it look like Bush's fault to give you one more little thing to hold against him, even though he had nothing to do with it.
I would honestly believe that they were really that stupid, but the tactics are too subtle and hidden to not be on purpose...
That stupid Pentagon conspiracy video is another good example. They present a bunch of little white lies and small truths to build their case, and then people buy it. They don't really lie, which I guess is a bad word for it, rather, they don't tell you all the facts.
It took me less than 5 minutes to blow that theory to hell just knowing what I know about aviation. Looking further, very little of that stood or remained unanswered, even though they wanted to pretend it did.
For instance "the entrance hole" they like to talk about how it is barely larger than a window. The windows on the Pentagon LOOK like regular old style windows. What they don't tell you is that those windows are something like 8 feet tall. How odd that the fuselage of a 757 (the plane that hit the Pentagon) is 20' in diameter and the hole appeared to be 2.0 times the size of a window...
Of course they don't tell you that because it doesn't build their case.
The strategy they use simple. We are going to take all of the facts and we are going to present the ones that build our "case" and then we are going to call it a documentary so that people will believe what we want them to believe. You are basically seeing 1/2 of the story. Many do actually believe it!
Then when people can legitimately question their position, we will just throw out the excuse that "they are just blinded by the man" or they aren't intelligent enough to understand, or they are part of the conspiracy.
I am not anywhere near the smartest person I know, but I DO know how to ask questions. And I DO know how to look for the answers, and I DO know how to talk to the people that have the answers.
Who killed the Electric Car is a good example.
They never mentioned the 20 mile range did they?
They never mentioned the 20 hour wall socket charge times did they?
They never talked about the fact that GM lost several hundred thousand dollars on each one and was going to have lose several hundred thousand more did they?
They never mentioned what effect climate had on the battery did they?
In LA where the temps are usually in the 60's year round it isn't a big deal.
Everywhere else it is.
So if they were really trying to do mankind a favor, why didn't they tell them that?
There are over 300,000,000 people in the US. Only about 20 live in LA. How much of a service are they doing if they don't tell the other 280,000,000?
It is propaganda, even if they didn't do it on purpose.
Cliff's Notes: If it is a "documentary" from Hollywood, it is probably a lie.
They should be called shockumentaries or mockumentaries or something else.
That is the main reason I reply to these threads. To help prevent the spreading cesspool that is Hollywood's elite. At this point they have no more world value than politicians.
Of course, reality TV and expanded media coverage are making that blatantly obvious at this point, so they have to come up with new ways to protect their sphere of influence.
Clearly, they aren't above lying and cheating, which proves my last point.
