OT North Korea has an answer for the high price of energy....liberals should adopt this...

Alternative energy: N. Korea opens first bicycle plant

Special to World Tribune.com

Tuesday, October 11, 2005

North Korea, which has boasted ballistic missiles and nuclear arms,
has begun producing the country's first home-built bicycles, China's
Xinhua news agency said in a dispatch from Pyongyang.

The factory, a joint venture with China, opened in Pyongyang on Oct. 7
with a number of senior officials from the two countries attending.
They included Paek Hyun-Bong, chairman of the North's Committee for
the Promotion of External Economic Cooperation, and Wu Donghe, Chinese
ambassador to Pyongyang.

Energy-starved North Korea needs some 7 million bicycles, officials
said. "The bicycle was the most important thing, because the buses and
trams stopped running due to energy shortages," said one North Korean
who recently defected to the South. "But bicycles are a luxury, so
most people walk," he said.

Under an agreement made last November, Chinese investors provide
materials, equipment and cash to have a 51-percent stake in the
$650,000 Pyongjin Bicycle Joint Venture, with North Korea holding the
remaining with its labor force. The two sides would jointly run the
factory for 20 years.

The plant will produce up to 300,000 "moran [peony] peak" units a
year, reducing its reliance on second-hand imports from neighbors
Japan and China, the report said. The joint-venture company has more
than 50 models including one that it said would become the new
workhorse for the North's postal service.

The construction of the bicycle plant was a main economic project in
North Korea, according to sources in Seoul. Premier Pak Bong-Ju has
visited the factory several times while it was under construction.
North Korea also displayed bicycle parts at the Pyongyang
International Products Expo last May.

In an apparent indication of its political implications, the bicycle
factory opened just three days before North Korea marked the 60th
anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party.

We used to have a pretty good bicycle maker here in Chicago. Schwinn & Co.
The president of my company used to know the Schwinn brothers. Now
they're made in China . . . .

Yup, because that's the kind of country SCOTT wants The United States to be,
one that exports everything to China, which is why he supports Wal-Mart so
much.

I know several liberals that bike to and from work, at least when the
weather is decent. They've all remarked that it would be a more pleasant
experience except for the jerks sporting the "W 04" stickers who apparently
don't know how to drive, in addition to having a poor grasp of the issues
that face our country.

Well, we'd certainly like it to be the kind of country where it was safe to
ride a bicycle. It IS already run by a delusional lunatic, if that's what
you were referring to.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of
that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group,
of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are...a few
other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man
from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54

Josh's brain was probably just running ahead of his fingers. He undoubtedly
meant to say "... one that exports jobs to China and imports everything else
from China..."

And he'd be right. Have you checked our trade deficit lately? Looked at
the unemployment figures? Noticed the drop in the median wage? Do you know
who's buying up all our debt and propping up the dollar?

He meant one that IMPORTS everything from China. Frankly I find those
imports hard to resist myself.

I wonder how many lifers they'll have workin at that plant?

Well, that just emphasizes the difference. The Liberals would prefer to
find ways to get Americans jobs HERE, rather than making China a bigger,
more powerful and more wealthy country.

I notice you dodged most of the questions but you seem incapable of little
besides slurs, so I don't really care.

No, we're stuck WITH Stupid. However, that will change January 20, 2009.

sorry to inform you oh worldly one, but those jobs would be over there
regardless who is in power. Kerry talked big about it, he lost, had he
won the jobs would still be over there and he'd be making up some lame
excuse and you'd be agreeing with him. Don't you lefties have even a
ounce of principle?
