How can instituting any of the following changes possibly adversely effect the US?
Reduce oil and fuel consumption in our homes and cars.
Reduce traffic on the road by car pooling.
Reduce cars on the road by replacing them with bikes and scooters.
Recycle everything that can be.
Use less energy in our homes, lights, electronics.
Waste less water, plant more natural ground cover (strawberries for example) instead of grass.
Stop cutting down forests and instead create tree farms.
Restore old lands and structures instead of developing new ones.
Lessen the urban sprawl and build higher structures.
Eliminate inefficient street lighting and install efficient and subdued street lighting (hooded, pointing toward the ground)
Plant and harvest our own gardens and crops.
Establish more preserved wildlife parks (widen boundaries and create new ones).
Create incentives for every home to use Solar energy and wind power.

I took a drive to my mom's house (400+ miles) using 10% ethanol there and regular gas on the way back and there was about a 10% difference in mileage (29 vs 32).

It takes more 10% ethanol to go the same distance. So am I putting out more emissions per mile?

California is considering forcing automakers to reduce their vehicles' emissions. At what price?I. I am not wealthy and I can barely afford a $15,000 vehicle. How am I supposed to to afford a more expensive vehicle?

I think the automakers should ignore global warming until hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can be sold for $15000.

Yes, they do have the hybrids, and are now trying to use the corn plant leaves to produce ethanol etc etc.

But those leaves do receive the energy directly from the Sun.

Can we do whatever is necessary to accumulate such energy without the need to defoliate so many hectares to grow the corn that will be needed to get enough ethanol?

NASA has found several indications that Mars once had water on it. I'm betting next they'll find a alien civilization that once thrived, but because they were unable to stop using their flying saucers, and they didn't buy enough carbon credits, they created a catastrophic environmental change which wiped them out.

So if the Aliens couldn't figure it out, what chance do we have?

We have enough resources to reduce the price rather then keep sending more money into the war in Iraq.
I am not against the war, but feel we should do more for our own.

If the insurance companies and pharmaceuticals won't reign in costs, then we need to go to socialized medicine. It is ludicrous that insurance costs so much for individuals.

Climatologists are not saying that global warming is happening. In fact, they are saying just the opposite. There is no man-made disaster on the near or future horizon. There is a warming trend, one that occurs naturally in nature. One thing I have seen and it makes me angry is that all of this is done without any hard, empirical scientific evidence. This has grown out of the neo-Darwinian strangle hold on science. Instead of science, this is what my two children are being fed: fairy tales and lies.
