| 1126735 | 2010-08-12 00:03:00 | Your lamb chops are cheaper there than here or pathetically small. I was trying to peer into the USD/NZD monetary exchange - and you've only recently gone off the coconut standard so I took a stab at it. Joe's cooking alert! Got the in-laws coming from Fort Collins, Colorado this next week for a visit. Got any 'shanks-o'-lamb recipes that don't have green mint gunk on them? |

| 1126739 | 2010-08-12 03:18:00 | I'm not an anti-environmentalist but I don't see how the electric car is going to be better than petrol\diesel. You need electricity produced, and a lot of that is not produced in 'clean' ways Then you must have large and complex batteries to power the cars, does anyone have a good recycling strategy for these at end of life or will they just end up rotting (or not) in a landfill somewhere? |

I can taste that already! I've not only printed several copies for myself and a neighbor or two, but it's also in my archives for a really great meal! Thanks - and that appears to be exactly what I wanted . I've got the temperature conversion::: 356º Fahrenheit = 180º Celsius , but I can't figure out the 30 minutes metric equivalency . |

What you're missing is the 'out-of-sight' rational of the GREEN PEOPLE Do-Gooders who think electricity comes from male crickets rubbing their legs together . Any time you convert energy from one form to another there are measurable losses and then again - like you said:: "batteries" . The very fact that these new GM cars require premium fuel wasn't even spoken either - but they do! This is a sto-o-o-pid idea and there's only one reason for it - greed and avarice toward the consumers . If they bring out cars that have planned yearly obsolescence designed into them they figure they have a sure income for eternity . |

If you want a really good Indian recipe for a leg of mutton let me know. |

| 1126743 | 2010-08-12 04:21:00 | You need electricity produced, and a lot of that is not produced in 'clean' ways as well as all the loss in transmission. Hydrogen is the way to go as there is an endless supply but producing it in the liquid form might cost a bit. Honda have one. |

| 1126744 | 2010-08-12 04:41:00 | I believe producing hydrogen costs about the same as producing petrol per litre at todays technology (is that liquid or gas??im not sure) | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
