    Why haven't cars been made with the Chevy Volt concept all along, like all

    those diesel-electric locomotives? Long before plug-in batteries were practical for cars like the Chevy Volt, diesel-electric trains were running on the same general concept, with the combustion engine generating electricity and not physically attached to the drive-line. It seems very logical...

    Do people who complain about high gas prices resent the very idea of conserving...

    ...fossil fuels? High gas (and diesel) prices are the only thing that gets most Americans to stop wasting fossil fuels.

    Does disruption of climate-change legislation violate the First Amendment...

    ...Establishment Clause? U.S. Constitution, Establishment Clause of the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Can that be interpreted as not allowing Creationists to meddle in public science policy? I'm surprised that Americans are allowed to...

    Does the word "ecosystem" really apply to businesses?

    It's only been used since the early 90s (James F. Moore), and I think it's a weak analogy. Too many businesses operate on growthism and avarice, not biological traits governed by natural limits.
