What is inhibiting this technology from wider proliferation, given the obvious environmental benefits?

Any answers welcome, but if they involve the dominant influence of oil companies then I'd like some level of substantiation.

I got suspended today from my job for sending an email to a co-worker. The email simply stated that no one likes you why don't you quit. I sent that email on my own time from my own personal computer. The email recipient contacted Human Resources and Security and they investigated and dug deep to find me. They found me. Said it took her a week longer to find me due to my using a proxy server.

My question....How can I be suspended and possibly fired for such a email? An email that I did at home, my time, my computer. I just don't understand it. Nothing threatening or anything like that. No one likes this person. Please tell me what i should do at this point? I'm suspended until further investigation. I can't be on the property or anything. All of this for an email that read " No one likes you. Why don't you quit?" Please advise.

Certain credit cards like Miles (Discover), No hassle miles (CapitalOne) offer miles earned as rewards. Does this means we can travel that much miles we earned or is it a different calculation.

Why or why not? And if you do, what do angels and/or demons mean to you? What are they? Please give your religion, also. Thanks.

I have a very old rose bush, that climbs a trelis at least 10 ft tall. I don't know if and when, and how to trim it, so that it comes back next year. The bush is about 100 years old, has some very large stems, and is currently making its way through my rain gutters, not to mention attacking people walking by. Is there any one out there that knows how I should go about this?

I'm trying to think ahead to next summer for vacation ideas. We don't want to go so far that we have to fly. I'm trying to figure how what the closest beach to St. Louis, MO, where we live, is.

I know that there are beaches associated with the Great Lakes as well, so I'm not limited to ocean areas. Thanks!

One important issue (breast health if their mom died of breast cancer, etc) is okay...but when someone you know is crusading for every cause under the sun, don't you just wonder if they're doing it to get attention?

Like Hopalong Cassidy, the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers and
Dale Evans, and Gunsmoke, also Rawhide. They don't
make 'em like that anymore. Which were your favorites?
I always liked Sky King.

I was driving on the parkway yesterday and saw a dead mattress lying on the shoulder. Looked like it had just fallen there recently, since it was sticking out onto the right lane a bit and looked fairly clean.
What's the etiquette for dealing with a mattress that has flown off your vehicle? The Parkway is a pretty busy roadway; I would think it would be unsafe to go and try and collect your former/future sleeping companion, but, should you just leave the thing there to die an ignominious death?

Professor Soludo of the Central bank of Nigeria:

Tells me he is coming here next week, if I send him $300 ... and if I contribute $200 to his hotel fees when he gets here.
He's been telling me he has $USD10 Million for me for the past 3 years!!

How do I handle this??

Being with God or Being with Satan. I want to know reasons why some of you think or dont think this. Bible quotes are not allowed because if you dont believe the Bible, then they are irrelevant
I am an Agnostic. I believe in God, just not in Religion. I feel that all religions should be treated as equals
