Alternative Fuels, Fuel-Efficient Cars & the Economy

I just returned from a regional About.com meeting (San Diego weather was gorgeous!), and spent time with some great guides who write passionately about their topics.

Here are a few of those About.com sites that I think readers of Liberal Politics will enjoy!

Alternative Fuels, by Christine & Scott Gable
"It was not long after Christine first read about biodiesel that she and Scott unloaded their gas guzzler, replaced it with an old Mercedes diesel and began brewing biodiesel in the basement of their home. Five years later, they have logged over 100,000 miles in their biodiesel and straight vegetable oil-powered cars, have fueled their home heating oil-powered boiler with biodiesel, and are even more passionate about sharing the latest news and developments about alternative fuels and renewable energy."

At their site, be sure to read Why Should I Care About Using Alternative Fuels ?

Buying Cars, by Aaron Gold
Aaron's site is one of the most popular at About.com, and it's easy to understand why: he's incredibly informed and excited about cars.

Essential reading at Aaron's site includes Top 10 Fuel-Efficient Cars and Top 10 Cars That Are Both Fun and Fuel Efficient.

U.S. Economy, by Kimberly Amadeo
I've been wating for a site at About.com devoted to explaining, in plain language, the U.S. economy, and it's finally arrived. I plan to link to Kimberly's site often, to explain terms that I use here.

For starters, I suggest you read The U.S. Current Account Deficit - - Threat or Way of Life? and What Are the Components of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ?

Google, by Marziah Karch
Marziah expertly demystifies the myraid of new services, and the older ones, offered by Google. Do yoursefl a favor, and take the time to learn from her article Top 8 Products and Services off the Beaten Path.

After I unpack, back to the Iraq War, Congress and the 2008 presidential race tomorrow!
