Wal-Mart: Our shoppers are 'running out of money'

i couldn't tell you. i know that spraypainting a building is also considered vandalism, though there is no destruction or poisoning involved. irrespective, the campaign remains national and it remains illegal.

what it remains is UNSEEN.....
 
Can I dump my trash in your yard for free?

Didn't think so.

So why should polluters get to dump their crap in everybodys air for free?

I'd let you if the other choice was the total destruction of our economy and our way of life.

That's what the cap and trade bill that passed the house would do.
 
I love conservatives that laugh in the face of science as they post on the Internet. Derrrr. Yeah, drive your car, type on your laptop, and watch your TV, but let those scientists know how full of **** they are! And screw that liberal education system!

an educated electorate.....is dangerous. The more educated we are, the harder it is for the politicans to get our support....
and which party is most often against education for the peasantry?
 
drive your car, type on your laptop, and watch your TV, but let those scientists know how full of **** they are!

tell it to the global coolists of the 70's

and watch your language
 
Where there's a demand there's a supplier/entrepreneur.

Most Walmarts down here smell like gigantic fart-chambers. It's either intestinal gas, or body-odor. Dunno which, for sure.
 
vote obama, 2012!

FOOLS!

LOL!

...only occasionally killing most of the species on the planet.

And were caused by...what again? You keep adding one plus truck and ending up with grapefruit.

Climate change is as constant as the planet. But THIS one...THIS one mankind is causing. You actually believe that makes SENSE...thats the hilarious part. Its a shame Al Gore wasnt around to prevent the last several major climate changes.

Now...if the topic is combating pollution for the sake of cleaner air and water, or developing cleaner energy sources to aid in that pursuit...happy days...we are all on the same page.
 
On the battery BANK issue, lithium battery production is energy inefficient due to our assinine global production models built around cheap oil. And new lithium chemistries are less toxic and more recyclable. Technology in these areas is advancing faster than its opponents can spin it. Because the rest of the world WANTS this stuff.

they do? how many volts sold last month?

I don't think you're supposed to just post your whole weeks list all at once.

Not me, isn't it just as strange for YOU to believe YOUR scientists when they tell you its NOT us?

Same thing, innit? (Except for the whole fossil fuel industry motive for deception thing)

Basin' one's opinions on those damn lyin' scientists?

We should torture them to find out which ones are lying.

(I like the whole idea of electric vehicles, so I hope its your guys):2wave:
 
they do? how many volts sold last month?

They're not sold by volts.

Amp hours and "C" rates are the relevant factors. Most cells being 3.3 volts.

And were you asking for overall lithium cell sales, or only vehicle grade cells?

Or perhaps a breakdown of some kind based on the various chemistries?

Or were you asking about the chevy volt?

Or those fools who bought all those ridiculously expensive handmade horseless carriages?

Stinkin' up the air and scarin' the livestock.

Eventually forcing the closure of hundreds of wagon and buggy whip shops.

Which destroyed our economy and our country in the process.

Well, we should be saying that combating pollution is a good thing no matter if global warming is a massive left-wing conspiracy to bankrupt the coal companies and usher in a socialist utopia or not. The partisan rhetoric going on here is insane. I am literally convinced that if Obama woke up tomorrow and said "I changed my mind, global warming is a hoax" some people here would suddenly change sides.

Can't we just agree that less pollution is a good thing? Global warming or not, if you think car exhaust is good, go breathe it for 5 minutes and tell me how that works out for you.
 
They're not sold by volts.

no. "volts". as in "Chevy Volts" or "Nissan Leafs"

how many electric cars are selling; what percent of the market are they? what is the demand for these highly subsidized vehicles?

Or were you asking about the chevy volt?

got it in....... 5?

Or those fools who bought all those ridiculously expensive handmade horseless carriages?

yup. had they only waited for ole Henry Ford to come along they could have had a horseless carriage for much less.

right now the "alternative cars" are a toy; much like the original cars. they are something for the wealthy to show off - but the demand and the price are not currently conducive for them to become a mass-transit vehicle.

Eventually forcing the closure of hundreds of wagon and buggy whip shops.

Which destroyed our economy and our country in the process.

you know, it's hilarious, but this is the exact same example that Thomse Sowell uses when he destroys the argument that international free trade ("offshoring") increases unemployment. :D

CO2 increases plant-life, which in turn increases oxygen, which i like breathing.

if you'll excuse me, i need to go turn on my car and let it idle for a while.



:) okay, a bit tongue in cheek. but seriously - we're not dealing with the smog of the 1970s anymore. the "gains" in pollution reduction by switching to ecologically destructive batteries do not justify the loss.

Walmart has two reasons to pay attention.

One years ago Walmart started doing massive amounts of business with China to give us cheap goods to buy, and in the process over the years put a great number of businesses out of business.

Now we have fewer good paying jobs for for people to earn a living and buy things from Walmart because they are on public assistance or just have a lower paying job.

So it's been a tow edge sword.

In order to make things affordable they killed their own business,and didn't even know it.

I saw it coming years ago but like so many times no one was listening.

Never let a bean counter run a Company or Corporation (unless it is in receivership and then when it is no longer in bankruptcy get rid of him.) If someone there other than the bean counters ran it I doubt they would have did what was done after Sam Walton's death.
 
purposely bankrupting coal is progressive?

party on, petrograd

seeya at the polls
Obamaisms, 1......Bushimsms, 439......low score wins respect, high score wins worst president ever....
vote early, vote often....
 
Hmm, how poor are we talking here?

Most of the poor I know aren't that poor, and many choose to be poor. They didn't know they were choosing poverty, they just thought they were avoiding things like homework, paying attention in class, etc.
 
not solar cell panels,,,,,for sure.
Even the other kind, acres of mirrors all shining on a tower only work in the day time, but that is when we need supplemental power...

LMAO! You never heard of trading power? How about storing energy?
