One other thing. I wonder if those of us who like glow fuel are really politically incorrect? Should we be embarassed by the the hydrocarbons we spew into the air or the noise?
What about disposing of all those bad batteries? I like to think I'm environmentally conscience, sometimes you just gotta make noise and get dirty.

I think that we are saving the environment after I saw this in the AMA magazine. Someone was charging a lipo battery for an electric plane from his van battery and it blew up.
