Okay, the only person in that video who wasn't COMPLETELY F$CKING SCARY was the inventory of the gun. He seemed to sort of understand what he'd invented.
WHAT THE F$CK IS WRONG WITH US

what is the tv show, anyway?

Outstanding.

funny! i especially like the part about keeping snow and ice off the motorways by heating them! you guys won't even be able to afford to heat your own homes pretty soon, let alone miles of concrete!
happy motoring america!

Spider's right but even so the first step is to change the cars to run on something other than gas. Personally I think it should be fuel cells. The idea being to push the burden of responsibility up the chain to the producers, so however they figure out how to generate the energy the cars are ready for it.
But of course the responsibility still lays pretty much with the consumer, car manufacturers won't want to share a standard and fuel producers aren't going to lift a finger until we're out of gas.
Woohoo!
