fastwallpapers.com — These are our favorite “green” sports cars. Some get awesome gas mileage while smoking the competition, and others use advanced bio-fuels to eek out ever higher performance over their gas-guzzling brethren. Big Oil doesn’t like any of them, because they all mean one thing: if you buy them, Big Oil makes less money.

Feel free to scroll down to the section that says "Costs to produce and sell a gallon of gasoline in the US" and look at the chart on the right; as a matter of fact the whole page might be good reading. <a class="user" href="http://www.gravmag.com/oil.html">http://www.gravmag.com/oil.html</a>I will also add that if you have such a large problem with Big Oil's profits, why don't you buy some stock in them and take advantage of the market that is dictated by OPEC.

DUMBEST thing in the world. Taking a staple FOOD crop and turning it into a fuel. Plus it (at current technology) takes MORE energy to produce it into fuel, than the benefits it gives. This whole corn/ethanol is a bunch of BS just to boost the price of corn. If they were SERIOUS about producing something into fuel, why not plant something that every kid under the age of 12 would be happy to give up. SUGAR BEETS! Turn them into fuel. I think Brazil or some other south American country started this after the FIRST so called oil shortage in the 70's, and now they are completely independent of "big oil". And their gas is less than a buck a gallon.

I hate to break it to you but 18% is not a majority.

Not exactly sure how these high performance cars count as green? They're still chewing excessive amounts of fuel - as discussed above. The Tesla is legitimately on the list, and I reckon would be an awesome car to own. The others? Lots of money to spend for good (not great) performance and arguably average fuel economy! If you want to save a few bucks and still go fast, buy a damn motorcycle. $10k and you're doing 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in 3 seconds or less, and using about 6L/100km. Still green, too. :p

"No, I am not wrong."You remind me of a child who screams "Are not! Are not! Are not! Are not! Are not!" while holding his hands over his ears. Proclaiming that you are right, without refuting the evidence I provided to the contrary, is just silly."Even is the corporation owns it's own assests (duh!), they still at the end of the day belong the shareholders."No, they do not. If you think that owning 1% of Microsoft's stock means that you can demand, and receive, 1% of their assets, you are sadly mistaken. You are also mistaken when you claim that corporations do not pay taxes. They do. That's like saying that you don't pay taxes because your employer provides you the money that you use to pay the IRS."I wonder how many whiny liberals bother to check their portfolio for ethcial investing (my guess is 'not many)."Liberals are not "whiny." They are, by and large, ethical, moral, and decent people who put the good of the country above their own.As to your "bet," I don't invest in mutual funds or stocks related to, among other industries, tobacco. Are you that careful with your investments?
