Look it up Dildo on the Internet for yourself if you don't believe it and eat your words. Silent consonants have nothing to do with how many vowels there is Knostril.
That was inappropriate...
Had I known what "dildo" meant, I wouldn't have looked it up, but now all these pop-up adds are killing my hard drive. Damn you, HessianWarrior, master strategist!!! All this vowel-philosophical sparring just to slow my computer down...and now "UNKNOWN" is calling me...
It's a town in Newfoundland, right?
Few things here:
The Model T ran on diesel, not unleaded. Diesel is one of the most efficient fuels out there, way more than unleaded. In addition, it is much cheaper to be produce and use. The problem is that it is not environmentally friendly, and the government has taxed to the point where it is more expensive than unleaded. In a true free market economy, diesel would be the cheapest fuel.
The Model T also was not built to meet the crash test safety regulations of today. If it was, it would have drastically less fuel mileage. The diesel engine in the Model T was much less efficient then the diesel engines of today.
A few years ago, the government passed a regulation requiring that cars improve the rollover crash test ratings. So in response, a thicker roof was built to withstand rollovers better. This increased weight depressed the gas mileage. It isn't even necessary at all, except the government requires it.
So if anything, you are the one reading the propaganda.
Now hydrogen cars have been built which are the most fuel efficient vehicle. The problem is that it is a very leaky gas so containment is extremely difficult. If hydrogen is exposed to air, it ignites. People will not buy these because they are afraid of driving a bomb.
There are new energies available instead of oil. Fusion is available, and not hot fusion, but fusion at room temperature using only electricity, water, and a small amount of metal. The U.S. patent office refuses to accept designs of this despite the fact the science has been proven. The technology is here now, but all the people within hot fusion are trying to stop it at all cost because it would phase them out. There are some energy cells which have been produced that draw on the energy that permiates space, but outside of the cells, a prototype with that has not been built. This will eventually be the future.

Huh, how about that? I found these lines amusing in WIki...
"Dildo is home to a local church, All Saints' Anglican Church. The first church building was constructed in 1878. It was a simple structure that had no tower and was 30 feet (9.1 m) wide by 80 feet (24 m) long."

Do you even know what my analogy, which you said was wrong, is evincing? Here, let's take something from what you wrote:
"The U.S. patent office refuses to accept designs of this despite the fact the science has been proven. The technology is here now, but all the people within hot fusion are trying to stop it at all cost because it would phase them out."
Now, replace the "hot fusion" peeps with the oil industry. Do you understand now?
I don't know much about Canada/New Foundland's interest rates, but now is a good time buy real estate in the U.S.A...don't know if I should answer "UNKNOWN".
Do you seriously believe that the U.S. patent office is forbidding efficient vehicles?

You can make a tidy living creating magic fuel device patents that the corporations will instantly buy up, but they only pay in Conspiracy Bucks.
Damn what a "pwn"!
Crap, by the time I write all that, the thread has moved on to patents. Sigh.
Will my linguistics degree ever be useful????
You have a linguistics degree?; That's so cool!

If you're cunning it will

huuuuuuurrr
I understood what you meant by the analogy, but what you said about the Auto Industry was incorrect. And yes I do see that propaganda. Unfortunately, that is the kind of world we live in. There are lots of power mongering, money grubbers who rather have us continue to use something over another to the detriment of everyone else. Eventually a few individuals come and change the paradigm, money is invested in a new area, and the process repeats. As a scientist, I hate it because it stymies progress considerably with old ideas, but that is the nature of the beast.
@Oinquarki-The U.S. Patent Office will refuse to accept certain new technology designs like room temperature fusion, and these cells due to certain regulations that prohibit it. It does not make sense except the fact that the status que wants to be maintained, much to the chagrin of people like me. This makes it very difficult for technology to move along because individuals need to go out on their own and build a working prototype on their own funds, unless they are very lucky when an investor backs them. Then you have to produce the product, and slowly replace the current piece of technology.
You also know that some languages consider the *phonetically* least sonorous sounds, like p, t, k, etc., as sy the most sonorous in the languages.
You know I'm Snoring.
I never heard of this whole thing about fusion patents; Seems kinda messed up.
Can't an inventor take their idea to another country?
In some cases yes. It depends on the patent laws in that particular country, and ultimately an investor. I am only familiar with the U.S. Patent laws and the China Patent laws.
As far as I know, Germany has been working on the fusion energy. Their country is the most nuclear happy in the world. About 80% of the country's energy comes from their nuclear plants. The U.S. is something like around 20% I believe.
I find it funny that the U.S. is still using coal to make electricity, which has been done since the 19th century! Talk about backward!
hahahaha
