You guys have heard about the hydrogen-cell Honda, right?
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Uh, so, Burrell -- was it our Victor (poet Victor, not new-ish Victor C.) who decided to spread these terrifying LIES?
Yes, it was our Victor on his LJ. I just assume he's always right about these things.
Allyson, you are indeed a wonderful auntie and your niece and nephew are lucky kiddos. Also if you are serious about getting the nephew a space suit it may be useful to shop around. We found Isaac's space suit at the Observatory for like $50 and later bought the same one online for much less. Also the space suit is sold in white, orange, and I think blue so make sure you get the right color.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
As I commented when I first read about the fuel-cell Honda, now all we need is an efficient way to generate, transport, store, and distribute hydrogen, and we'll be all set!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yes, it was our Victor on his LJ. I just assume he's always right about these things.
Hmm. Damned journalists and their facts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
<makes plans to hoard coffee>
You probably don't want to announce that on a public forum, as that will lead the coffee-less zombies right to you.
OTOH, when the coffee apocalypse comes, we can all get tips on how to structure post-apocalyptic society from the Mad Max movies....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's hard for me to get excited about fuel cells until it doesn't take a boatload of electricity to make hydrogen.
In terms of power, the answer is nukes. No CO2 emissions and the waste is small and contained. And, as a guy from a hazardous waste company once said in an interview, "I love nuclear waste. If you lose it, you can find it again."
If mankind had to start from scratch, I think it would have to live off the remains of this civilization, since we long ago mined the stuff that's easy to get to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm tearing up about the books.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yes, it was our Victor on his LJ. I just assume he's always right about these things.
Hmm. Damned journalists and their facts.
I don't think it's so much a matter of his getting his facts wrong -- he just drinks so much more coffee than the normal (even Buffista!) mortal that the normal worldwide supply looks dangerously low.

Coffee shortage? Dear Universe, this is NOT OKAY.
