Schwarzenegger on the environment and the state of his party 4

"Let's clean our ocean, let's clean our water, let's clean our air, let's create health care reform, let's pass the budget, let's fix the budget deficit and the structural deficit. All of those things. And to me, when I look at those issues, I don't look at them as Republican issues or Democratic issues. I look at them as people's issues. You've got to make decisions what is best for the people, not what is best for our party."

-- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), talking about the state of the Republican Party post-election, on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer on Nov. 9

    Let Arnold Bust Through!

    The Power of the Schwartz is the future.
    He is one of the few who understand the 21st century, because he has been living it all his life.
    Remember Terminator 3?   Ok, well go look it up on imdb.
    In that 2003 flick, Arnold opens his abdomen and hurls out one of his two power packs -- a hydrogen fuel cell!
    How cool is that -- here it is 2003 and he made the producers put in a plug for hydrogen technology!
    Do we want jobs?  Do we want clean air?
    Great -- let AS build a 21st century network of hydrogen stations like he's done in Cahleaforya.

    The Terminator packing a fuel cell? ... Not!jabailo:
    Given that Arnie's power pack exploded with a massive shock wave and a substantial mushroom cloud, it was clearly not a wimpy hydrogen fuel cell. You're really clutching at straws there.
    It was more likely to be a science fiction boosted ultra-capacitor energy cell. If one of the companies working on the real versions these finally makes a break-through like they've been promising, then there will be no need to waste energy inefficiently producing and distributing hydrogen.

    Was a fuel cell...a really improbably one though..http://aaea-la.blogspot.com/2005/07/terminator-3-fuel-cel ...
    It is revealed that the Terminator runs on a fuel cell. Talk about 'takes a licking and keeps on kicking.' Arnold states that, "When ruptured, the fuel cell becomes unstable." His chest mounted fuel cell (looks like a printer cartridge) blew up after he tossed it.

    BSSchwarzenegger supported Bush and McCain, and has generally been a negative force in California on environmental issues.  Talk is cheap, and he's nothing but a hypocritical politician.
