[12:24] {Threei}  I guess rage planned in advance fizzles out rather quickly

[12:25] {dino} kindda takes the shock out of it
[12:25] {dino} lol
[12:35] {Threei}  (CH) China has lost a WTO appeal on US duties on steel and tires
[12:35] {Threei}  ***Reminder: in January the World Trade Organization (WTO) opened a review of US tariffs on Chinese tires. In September 2009 President Obama authorized new 35% tariffs on all car and light truck tire imports from China; China called the move a serious case of protectionism that will harm China-U.S. trade relations. Obama imposed a tariff of 35% in the first year, 30% in the second, and 25% in the third, somewhat less than the levels suggested by the US Federal Trade Panel, which proposed tire tariffs of 55% year one, 45% in year two and 35% in year three. In December 2010 a WTO panel upheld tariffs on Chinese made tires.
[12:37] {Threei}  (US) President Obama: All options on table regarding oil, including tapping the strategic petroleum reserve
[12:37] {Threei}  "All options on table" becomes a code phrase for doing nothing it seems
[12:37] {Threei}  although in this case I don't see many options at all
[12:38] {Threei}  what is it they could possibly do
[12:39] {Threei}  - So far the global community has shown it can handle the supply disruptions that have occurred, with producing nations pledging to supply more from excess capacity.
[12:39] {Threei}  - Near term, the US should seek to increase oil and gas production
[12:39] {RonS} it's against their religion
[12:40] {Threei}  Zaratustra doesn't allow?
[12:40] {Threei}  standing joke in good ole USSR...
[12:41] {Threei}  to get out of something,
[12:41] {Threei}  'I'd do it but Zaratustra won't allow it"
[12:43] {Threei}  - In the longer term, need to reduce demand and break our dependence on oil, more toward alternative fuel sources.
[12:43] {Threei}  yes... how?
[12:54] {Threei}  anyone's alive or you all fell asleep?
[12:56] {rambler} soooo sleeeeeppppyyyy......
[12:56] {dino} magoo dcc

[13:02] {Threei}  doubling the range and doubl,ing the fueling options,
[13:02] {dino} becoming popular here in us. very much in france, etc
[13:02] {Threei}  equipment cost was quite affordable,

[13:03] {Threei}  what the hell prevent US from making it priority and moving the fleet in this direction?
[13:03] {nemo} lvs interesting spot for short

[13:03] {Threei}  they are against oil too
[13:03] {dino} we are fighting them in my backyard, marcellus shale, anti's driving companies nuts w/lies, etc
[13:04] {Threei}  using LNG would take a huge part of oil dependency off
[13:04] {dino} they have found 200 years of supply at current usage
[13:04] {Threei}  what the heck is wrong with people
[13:04] {dino} but the no drill fear mongers are stopping it
[13:05] {rambler} the lefties want us all on BIKES......

[13:07] {Threei}  peace and harmony are quite dangerous for one's health, you see {G}
[13:08] {Threei}  not even speamking of equality

[13:16] {rambler} tanks a bit of a pain but manageable....
