Paris 2008: Live shots of the new Honda Insight... at last!
Autoblog Green
Oct 5th 2008 2:45PM Okay, I'll admit ... although ugly ... it's still better looking than the Prius. I think they do this on purpose because they know they could never even come close to keeping up with the orders if they were good looking as well as 40+mpg.

Oct 3rd 2008 11:54AM Yeah ... I don't know what they're thinking using Li-ion. You'll have to replace them after 6-8 years which will be super expensive. LiFePO4 are guaranteed for at least 10 years and can easily be pushed to 12 or longer I'm sure.

Sep 9th 2008 12:39PM Doesn't look much like this version of the volt to me:

Maybe it's just a paint-job difference, but oh what a difference.
Kind of looks like an extra roomy 2nd Gen Eagle Talon (Mitsubishi Eclipse) to me.
Oil is still inexpensive, says Big Oil CEO
Autoblog Green
May 26th 2008 9:26AM His statement was not "Oil is still inexpensive". Instead it was "Oil is still TOO inexpensive" [caps added]. The addition of that little word, "too", changes the meaning entirely. He was talking about our thirst for oil and what it would take to curb that thirst.
He's right too ... at $4/gal most people are only cutting their driving and home heating habits by less than 10%. That's nothing.
Fat can turn vitamin C into cancer-promoting agent

Sep 25th 2007 3:35PM Also discovered this: This research is in direct conflict with the findings of earlier research that indicates that Vitamin C detoxifies Fat:

The Pharmaseutical companies are working overtime to spread their misinformation through funding scrupulous researchers like the ones behind this study.
Fat can turn vitamin C into cancer-promoting agent
The Cancer Blog
Sep 25th 2007 1:49PM Last week a John Hopkins Univ. study showed in a laboratory that orally ingested Vitamin C in sufficient levels prevents cancer growth (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070910132848.htm), as well as the mechanism whereby this happens (vitamin C inhibits a protein utilized by the cancer cell in the absence of oxygen, which is needed to multiply).
Another study in 2005 by Levine (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/512724) shows Vitamin C kills cancer, but most studies all indicate this occurs only in concentrations possible through IV (sodium ascorbate). The mechanism was shown to be a production of H2O2 in the cancer cell resulting in it's destruction. Selectivity was 100% - no healthy cells we're adversely affected. As shown by Steven Hickey, MD, the researchers wrongly concluded that the results could be obtained with a oral dose of Vitamin C. IV administration is necessary to obtain the needed concentrations, as evidenced by an enormous backlog of case studies, yet members of the AMA refuse to do official clinical studies involving IV based ascorbates, presumably in fear that the results will bankrupt the cancer treatment industry.
That's also where you get bogus "studies" like this that are based solely in theory - and they're supposed to mean something? Aids patients take as much as 300,000 mg/day (intravenously) - that's 2/3 pound dry weight, dissolved and put in your IV every day. None of them ended up with any cancer. This "study" is bad science all around intended to protect a $300 billion / day industry (cancer + heart disease) that is crippling the economy (costing 3X more annually than the iraqi conflict).
