U.S. Navy going Green
« on: July 02 2012, 11:49:27 PM »
and paying $26 a gal for biofuel instead of $3.60 for the regular stuff

If the AF starts using chicken fat derived fuel, I think I will walk

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Point being David this Bio fuel for 15,000 to 65,000 ton US Naval ships is another Loonie Leftie idea. Straight out of the Flower Power culture.

The cost makes no sense to me but I'll bet someone made the decision based on lining his pockets!

Hey Harper just signed a bill to pay out SIX BILLION in Severance for people NOT losing their Govt Jobs & they dont even transfer jobs but basically just keep the same jobs they have & get on average $40K up to max $150K payout PLUS they still keep that Golden Lifetime Pension thats mors than most people even make now working!!  :013:
 
He did mention we will save $500 Million a Year but I still fail to see the reasoning except an election??  How does 500 Mil a year = Six Billion? ??? ?  :icon_eyes:
