However I am not an economist, and I had a hard time getting it across to her. <BR/><BR/>I think the most important part is that it is taking an enourmous amount of R&D and $$ to get financially feasable alternatives to oil going. The startups that are trying to come up with electic alternative vehicles are having a very difficult time. Internet tycoons are investing hundreds of millions, but I really don't know if that will be enough. <BR/><BR/>When combined with all the resistance coming from vested interests (oil companies) and the amount of people that have died for scarce resources over the years; I see no reason why anyone would want to oppose 87. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, I guess disinformation wins again.<BR/><BR/>If I get the girl's email address I will send her a link. Nice post and some good links too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Ryan Bray<BR/>San Diego, CARYanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11658370595003656617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855139.post-1163130978591363962006-11-09T19:56:00.000-08:002006-11-09T19:56:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.wallen107@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855139.post-1162451316958618002006-11-01T23:08:00.000-08:002006-11-01T23:08:00.000-08:00Slogan: Plan measure 87 "results"? <BR/><BR/>It's difficult to schedule or even promise "breakthrough" results for an innovative "Research and Development" project like measure 87!<BR/><BR/>J.W.C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
