Still, I'm glad to see the auto industry moving forward towards better fuel efficiency/less reliability on fossil fuels within vehicles.
If oil prices stay low, it may dampen consumers’ interest in the next big thing: electric-drive cars. Big financial incentives from federal and state governments could ... More »








I applaud the efforts of the ranchers. This announcement makes me curious about the relationship between the various companies and organizations that make the award available. How sincere is Dow, for example?
