    Let me state i'm for the XL pipeline and i'm for more fracking for more natural gas. I also am for high conservation standards when it comes to our auto industry. here's why. since 2008 gasoline consumption has gone down

    Eh, Iono. If we are going to remain the United States, we need energy independence. I wish I could find the picture I found today of covered parking lots with solar panels on top. It's genius. Come outside after shopping at the mall to a cool (well at least not 120ยบ+) charged vehicle.

    I've read that online ordering is a highly inefficient use of gas from store/warehouse to home.

    I wonder if there's a largescale study on how wasteful it is or if shipping companies have made the numbers work to make it more efficient compared to a person driving around market and big box stores and getting everything at once.

    Then again, it's like choosing the biggest loser.
