Window Cleaner Posted 20 November, 2008 Share Posted 20 November, 2008 With crude at even 65 $ a barrel the saving on the US oil imports will come to 400 billion, it's the silver lining of the recession cloud which they probably engineered anyway.They get to control their major banks and give far less money to the oil producers who aren't in their good books anyway Discuss.

Not unless your government bails out Detroit. Ah, but there will be American made, Japanese cars - Honda, Toyota etc are not in such dire straits as Detroit and the "big" 3. A bail out only delays their problems. They make cars no one wants at a huge cost because of their union agreements that provide things such as free healthcare to the retired autoworkers (or heavily subsidised). The US engineered recession also has everyone rushing back to the mighty greenback for safety. The pound is now below $1.50, as opposed to over $2 in the summer.

hamster Posted 21 November, 2008 Share Posted 21 November, 2008 Tesco petrol can work out 4p cheaper if you get the clubcard points and trade them up for deals. Often making them the cheapest around. I get weekly e-mails from this site http://www.petrolprices.com/ but as I say, usually fill up at Tesco (Twyford Road is often the chepest around any way).

And their back up plant in Romania is an EU green disaster zone, thats going to cost millions to rectifiy. Ford will get the money they want from the UK Govt to keep the Transit here!

(Try to still spell in English) Ford are considering the move of transit van production to Turkey. John Fleming is putting a proposal to Detroit, somewhen in the new year, to move van production to Kocaeli but that same proposal also includes moving most or all Transit chassis cab production to the UK (Southampton). That will, obviously, affect livelihoods in the area. Not least those of supply chain personnel and their employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, yeah, yeah .....now go and see if you can find this reported on the BBC http://www.dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=13834 Global warming means that the average temperature, year-on-year, is increasing. The consequence of this is that the global weather patterns change as marine currents are rerouted and the huge volumes of water that affect continental air masses shift. The net effect can quite easily be that some areas, for a while, will get colder, whilst others get hotter. The net effect on Britain is that we come more under the influence of the continental weather during winter, and get wetter weather during the summer.

Misleading arguments 1. The IPCC has become too politicised and does not accurately reflect the wide range of views within the scientific community. The IPCC summary for policymakers does not adequately represent the scientific uncertainty. Now I don't know about you, but any paper that is published by a former chair of the IPCC, whose first misleading argument assesment is to justify that the IPCC hasn't become too political, probably loses a little bit of it's credibility towards the other 11 misleading arguments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
