Of course, phones also save lives, and we still drive cars, even though we know they kill. Guns also kill.

Cellphones Cause Brain Tumors, Says New Report. Great underestimation of brain tumor risks.
- There is a risk of brain tumors from cellphone use;
- Telecom funded studies underestimate the risk of brain tumors, and;
- Children have larger risks than adults for brain tumors.
- Telecom funded studies underestimate the risk of brain tumors, and;
- Children have larger risks than adults for brain tumors.
This report, sent to government leaders and media today, details eleven design flaws of the 13-country, Telecom-funded Interphone study
The Interphone study, begun in 1999, was intended to determine the risks of brain tumors, but its full publication has been held up for years.
Components of this study published to date reveal what the authors call a 'systemic-skew', greatly underestimating brain tumor risk.
The cardinal design flaws include
--categorizing subjects who used portable phones (which emit the same microwave radiation as cellphones,) as 'unexposed';
--exclusion of many types of brain tumors;
--exclusion of people who had died, or were too ill to be interviewed, as a consequence of their brain tumor;
--and exclusion of children and young adults, who are more vulnerable.

Chevy Volt to go the distance with 230 mpg expected in city driving. GM expects the Volt to consume as little as 25 kilowatt hours / 100 miles in city
"Based on the average cost of electricity in the U.S. (approximately 11 cents per kWh), GM says a typical Volt driver would pay about $2.75 to travel 100 miles, or less than 3 cents per mile"

G.M. Puts Volt’s Mileage in City as 230 mpg, Nissan says new all-electric Leaf, out late 2010, will do 367 mpg. Thats 1 liter/100 km, and 0.6 l/100 km
Volt costs $2.75 for electricity to drive 100 miles and that a single overnight off peak charge - 40 miles to run - could be 40 cents.
