looking at it, it looks like the program is pretty useless except in limited

Just wanted to share this, as some folks could benefit from a trade in and
sequester some carbon and save some fuel economy boost as well as re-market
their image.<br>
<br>
Politics aside, the intent has good merit.<br>
<br>
About 2 weeks ago, these folks where here in Hawaii and we saw the film. I
recall buying Joshua's book many years ago and he was on the bleeding edge of
taking this concept mainstream.<br>
It is a good movie, docu-drama about our insatiable appetite for the black
gold.<br>
<br>

<br>
If you are considering a new wrench transportation option, the timing seems to
be apropos.<br>
