Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Anyone heard of using ammonia as a miracle fuel?

But what happens when it runs out? Sod carbon footprint - when the stuff that burns is all burnt, the size of our dirty black footprint will be the least of our worries.

Their FAQ says otherwise, but okay.

As for coal... there's enough for centuries yet. Yes, it'll run out, the sun will burn out eventually too, are you planning for that?

Nuke the entire middle east region and take over.
Flood the world market with oil thus reducing fuel prices.
Use the rest of the land as the world's toxic waste dump.
Fuel prices solved.
World economy problems solved.
Pollution problems solved.
Terrorist problems sloved. (Use their charred dead bodies for runway lights)


That is all.
