Budweiser is talking about selling out. I hope to god this dont happen. Please go to www.savebudweiser.com and sign the petition. This is not about weather or not you like Budweiser it is about a American icon being sold out to foreigners.

This gets me all worked up. What is happening to the good old USA.

Well, you could call it "GROWING PAINS"...

Or, you could say that after years of spending trillions of dollars for foreign oil, there's no money left in the USA for anyone to buy corporations that size. When is the last time you called about your credit card? Did you talk to an AMERICAN? Or did you talk to someone who spoke English with a foreign accent?

Myself, I believe we're being "picked apart", and I do not like it.

Yeah, but you're going to fix that when you get elected president, right? :?

Think about it... If we're not spending TRILLIONS of dollars overseas on oil, but keeping it right here instead, we won't need a "worthless $154 billion shot in the arm" to keep our economy going.

Ten years before we see any relief from the new wells that have they have not started drilling yet? In that time, we can nearly complete a transition from oil to hydrogen. And, NO!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BURN HYDROCARBONS TO PRODUCE IT EITHER. I do know that we can make electrolizers about 1000% efficient. Then, when you include the pumps, compressors, and cooling units, I have no idea just what the upper limit is. But, I expect that by the time it got to the public, it would be like filling your car for about 35 cents a gallon. And, we do not need to import any water. Recyclable? Burn it today, and it comes back down as rain tomorrow... Or maybe the day after.

And, there is some new technology that may be applied to the process, and make it even more efficient. I do not know what the limit is. And before you accuse me of creating energy, think about "BREEDER NUCLEAR REACTORS" that make more fuel than they use. You simply make far more efficient use of the energy you put into it.

And, you use that same technology every time you turn on your CB, TV, or STEREO. In the ten years it will take to get oil from the new wells, we can nearly have a full transition completed. What oil we would still be using, we already produce. No more money has to leave our shores. And, instead of looking at the same problem in another 20 to 25 years, we can plan to cover the rest of this century without a problem.

Another bit of energy we should be able to tap into in producing hydrogen is "static electricity". When you transfer hydrogen, it picks up a static charge. According to the supporters of "THE JOE CELL", it picks up a static charge to keep the reaction going. They recommend using a quarter inch "SPARK GAP" to discharge the excess voltage. It takes about 4,000 volts to jump a quarter inch gap. The problem with the Joe Cell is that you are transferring both oxygen and hydrogen in the same tube. It's an explosive compound of gases in the same proportions as water. You can not store it that way.

When I get one put together, I'll let you know what I get for a static charge on it. If it works, I'll try a similar configuration for an electrolizer.

Another huge piece of all American culture sold out and sold off for the almighty dollar. I'm with you I'm out on all their products at this point. A few more years and nothing in America will even be owned by Americans....sad state of affairs this country is getting itself into.

I'm near St. Louis about 25 miles and I don't know what y'all heard who are in different states but here I heard that Inbev was gonna buy out AB regardless. I think Inbev got rid all of AB's board of directors and took them to court for some reason. The AB board of directors didn't budge and didn't want to sell AB. I don't blame them one bit. This is a sad sad day! I'm pissed too and I don't drink! A great icon is gone.

At least we still have Sam Adams beer. i guess I will support that company a little more now whenever I toss back a few.

[Mackman]

Its Miller Time for me.

[Malaki86]

Damn... and Bud Light is my favorite beer. Now what do I do?!?!?!?!

[Windwalker]

He was drinking water.

[Trukrswyfe]

A&W rootbeer....

It tastes even better with ice cream then bud. :wink:

Mackman hate to tell you this but Miller Brewing is part of Coors and they are owned by a either German or Dutch company also. The ONLY true American beer is Sam Adams brands.

[Mackman]

Are you sure about Miller?? I know miller and coors are together. But i still think they are American. I hope they are cuz i hate sam adams.

[ironeagle_2006]

The corparte name is SAB Miler now. SAB stands for South African Brewing. They first bought Coors and Molson then bought Miller.

[Mackman]

WTF im i going to do now?? This is getting out of hand i might have to go postel.

[skier]

Time to stop buying the big 3 national brands and start either brewing your own at home, which some people do, and or drinking the microbrews.
