Comment on Beyond Oil: Learn How Israel Will Be the First Country to Support an Electric Car Infrastructure by av

Years ago I took a course at Walter Reed. I stayed at the Woodner. is that near you?

While electric cars are great, Israel still burns coal for its electricity. While not coming from Binladenland, it is still imported ,and if you are a believer in man made global warming it is aCO2 producer.

We’re down the hill from the Woodner at 16th and Q. Excellent point about the coal, although Israel is also hoping to further develop its solar power industry. It won’t replace coal anytime soon, but it’s a start.

How sad that money talks and can impose censorship on an art exhibit. Anything critical of the Israeli Government’s policies and actions is called “negative” and deemed unacceptable by the Jewish power brokes in Chicago. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I will be visiting Chicago in a few days and was looking forward to visiting the Spertus Museum as described in the Hadassah magazine. Too bad that an interesting and controvertial exhibit has bowed to censorship.

Soulico is really dope! The rocked Wonderland Ballroom last fall with me — you don’t want to miss it! Where is the promotion though??

They do rock! We had a 1/4 page ad in the Express today. There are more ads in the City Paper and Post coming. In the meantime–spread the word.
