Anyway open office spreadsheet does not include programming and i do program my excel applications with visual basic! very handy.

So is windows with all its automatic system and security updates and comparatively hassle free setup, maintenance and use.

The Hamburg-based renewable energy group Lichtblick and its automaker partner Volkswagen say the plants would produce not only heating and hot water but also electricity, with any excess power fed into the local grid.

Not only do the US have huge nat. gas reserves they are also ahead of the competition for most efficiently converting it to power. Just check Capstone Turbine Corp. In other words the US could easily beat in efficiency the "SchwarmStrom" system, not writing about the most efficient hybrid vehicles (see GreenCar.com

Unfortunately "Dereliction of duty" also abounds.

Put your own crumbling houses (UK and USA) in order before criticizing a hard working and thrifty people who balance their budget, do not pretend to rule the world and avoid being used, like sheep, as proxies to do so.
