We got a Herd 'o Winnebagos - We're Givin' 'em away!

Come ONNNNNN down to Smokey Joe's car lot! We've got one for little Shiva, little Kamlesh, little Sat Singh, bring the whole family!

When visiting China you can count on a great deal from Cho's! Come visit the brand new showroom, bring Grandfather and Grandmother!

Better hurry up and buy those LED lightbulbs quick as a bunny Americans.....and you'd better get cracking on all of those other "green" projects ahead of you.....cause it's soon going to be getting real HOT around here.

From the NY Times:

EXPORTING THE CAR CULTURE In the West, “going green” may be all the rage, but in China and India, the automobile is being discovered all over again. The two countries each have populations of more than a billion, booming economies and rapidly expanding middle classes, and an unsated appetite for Western goodies — including cars. In India, Tata Motors is introducing the People’s Car, with a sticker price of $2,500. Over the next 12 years, some economists predict, more than 150 million Indians will buy cars. China, meanwhile, may have 140 million cars on its roads by 2020.

If this all comes to pass, climate experts say, it will be impossible to make meaningful, worldwide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. China and India already account for 70 percent of the worldwide increase in energy demand over the last two years. “This is a very worrying message,” said Fatih Birol, chief economist for the International Energy Agency, which provides policy advice to industrialized nations. “China and India are transforming our energy markets. We have a window of opportunity of 5 to 10 years before it becomes unsustainable and irreversible.” In other words, get used to praying for rain.
