Instead, they haul it an average of 150 miles to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
20 tons of garbage in a hauling rig getting 3mpg full, 7mpg on the return trip 300 miles round trip burns 71 gallons of diesel fuel.
What a waste.
And the idiots at the county think they are environmentalists!

Take a ride on Route 80 or the PA Turnpike and see how many of the trucks are open haulers with canvas covers on them. The vast majority of these are municipal solid waste carriers. On a trip to Pittsburgh from New Jersey I stopped counting at 145 trucks...]]>Jun 20th 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Jun 20th 2008 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/

If you mention Halliburton you automatically lose this arguement, because their stock isn't soaring. It's tracking right along with the rest of NASDAQ and the NYSE, if you know what those are.]]>Jun 21st 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Saving many soldier and civillian lives in the process]]>Jun 22nd 2008 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/
Well, there are certainly many other (illegitimate) reasons for the Iraq war than just oil, like fulfillment of neo-conservative agenda, psychiatric problems involving the "ego" / megalomania, the fact that bush has said "only a 'war president' can achieve greatness, revenge for attempting to assassinate bush Sr, etc.

But if you think the oil reserves in the middle east had nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq, you are more ignorant than the 'conspiracy theorist'.

First of all, Oil prices are mandated by the market, at least in the short term. The price of gasoline/diesel and other oil products is completely irrelevant to the question of whether Iraq was invaded for more control over middle east oil reserves in Iraq and surrounding countries.

Do you even know whats happening soon in Iraq? Large American/Multi-national oil companies are signing long-term oil production and distribution contracts with the Iraqi "government". You think having guaranteed western control of these oil reserver won't benefit the tremendous consumption of oil-based products in the United states?
Or that implanting a pro-USA puppet regime in Iraq won't have benefits not only for controlling local oil exports, but political and strategic influence in the region (and thus further indirect control of fossil fuels in the region)?

You can be as proud as you want about serving "the country" in Iraq, and no one is pointing fingers at soldiers who are just doing their job. It is the unimaginably corrupt and arrogant "regime" at home who are the problem.

I'm ready to get crucified for it, but gas should be taxed higher anyway. The environmental damage should be an internalized cost; use the difference to fund public transport and greener technologies... infrastructure revamping etc.

Im sad that it took "high" gas prices to teach people to let go of their Hummers and SUVs, but if that is what it takes... so be it.

Boomers seemed to be fixated with making money, more and more, at whatever cost... Why? So you can leave it to your children when you die? If that is the case, consider that it will take far more money then you will ever make to fix the problems that you are leaving us.

Its because companies are not forced to entirely internalize the cost of their damage that past generations lived big, and made so much money, but it cant continue, because the interest rate (so to speak) for the environment is very steep... And no amount of money will make me happy if the world is fracked.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Coming again, to save the mother fucking day, yeah!

Army Generators turn trash into freedom.
I also re-worked the content
"as it pumps a hefty load of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere -- but for a place that's short of fuel and high on trash"
into a joke on how the middle east is short on oil/fuel and it is worth the CO2 it produces.]]>Jun 21st 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Jun 21st 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Jun 21st 2008 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/Jun 23rd 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/army-generators-turn-garbage-into-energy-energy-into-freedom/]]>Jul 24th 2008 8:25PM
