Yeah, pushing for a proper economy founded in agriculture is being a hypocrite.

(Agriculture, Bio-fuel takes a portion of land that can feed people. Bio-based lubricants has a longer term consumption rate compared to fuel - this is better than the former.)

Compared to someone else's so-called solution of building a 100% pinoy car as the goal and single solution for the philippine economy.

(Thats the impression you have.)

Excuse me, but who was the one maintaining the threads regarding the recent typhoon and events around it? I was also posting updated news alerts on the board so people online on the forum can be updated on something that might be important to them.

(OK, thats out of the question... my statements were generalized. On that point I commend your action.)

I find it amazing you guys would only focus on THIS thread (and one other) and not even bother with those other threads dealing with current events.

(We dont have - speaking for myself - the luxury of sitting 20 hours a day in front of a computer. - moreover, I am still not that savvy in activating alert buttons to keep me posted on the threads I need to monitor or something. dont take it personal, I think you have been doing a good job in most threads and topics.)

Someone have to pay the rent and keep body and soul together. Someone has to make the goods we all buy. Lucky are those who don't need to work for someone else to live in this world.

(I agree - and We are on the same boat)

Nope. I think going "green" has to be economically feasible. There is a difference.

(Everything specially alternative solutions need to be feasible)

Engineers must be able to support their statements with credible data, not guesswork. As engineers, we must know that the math must stand up to scrutiny of our co-engineers otherwise we are just doing nothing more than alchemy.

(I agree)

Being green must also be sustainable. What is the point of being "green and environmental" when it cannot be sustainable? If it isn't sustainable, it has to be stopped.

(I agree, what can be more sustainable than a hydrocarbon-enriched oxyhydrogen derived from - water and vise versa for fuel - than pure fossil fuel based alone)

Being green the right way by what method? Making a car that runs on water? Dingle has been singing that tune for the last few decades and he has proven only one thing, that he is a scam artist.

(I agree! Who is defending Dingle here by the way? I am not he is simply on his own. Although I believe in the back of my mind - it is possible. But I dont think Dingle is really running his car on water alone. Mr. Anderson and Meyer maybe... and Mr. Boyce.)

You think my thread on "Being GREEN" is a mockery on you and your group. It is not. It was supposed to create awareness that going green can start from the simplest of actions. It does not need to have a car using veggie oil as fuel or inventing the practical electric city car. Something As simple as turning off the lights when leaving the room is enough as a start.

I totally agree with you on this. As I mentioned, my statement is general, it is not intended or directed on you alone personally. I don't speak for my group, I speak for myself.

The topic posted is "A simple solution to a Worldwide Crisis".

Perhaps it is much easier to define the exchange by stating the following first:

1. What is the Worldwide Crisis?

2. How do we define a simple solution? What makes it simple?

3. Can we make a criteria or adopt one to classify a solution simple or not?

4. Can being simple mean Expensive? or Cheap?

5. Is being expensive being cheaper in the long run or not?

6. Does the solution protect the interest and welfare of humanity as a whole?

7. does sustainability offer economic feasiblility in the short term?, medium and longer term?

Just to make it clear....

I dont agree that we should use vegie oil as fuel - NO WAY! Except as a base fuel in a fuel reformer...

I dont agree that we should drink alchohol...(well, maybe only in some occasions) and I certainly wouldnt want my car be intoxicated with alchohol either... because alchohol is plant based and I really dont agree with the idea of making it as a consumable liquid like fuel 1. Except for engine or mechanical lubrication only.
