Jemila - I gave you a worm in “Walmart” and you bit down on it really hard! :) The fact that you did reply with ready anti-Walmart rhetoric actually reinforces my suspicions that extreme environmentalism and socialism go hand-in-hand!

The culture already had a great impact on the car industry - if the industry would be able to make a car that runs on water, I am sure they would make it. They can’t…it’s not technologically feasible; at least not yet. Hydrogen, as you mentioned looks promising, except hydrogen also has to come from coal or oil, so you are exactly right back where you started. Ethanol has the same problem in that it takes two calories of energy to create one calorie worth of ethanol. These are the numbers and math behind the science and environmentalists are asking scientists and engineers (of which I am one) to break the rules in order to satisfy political agendas.

The possibility always exists that “big oil” and Walmart are covertly keeping innovation at bay in order to continue to pollute the planet. :)

As far as I know Walmart provides high-quality health insurance to all their employees - the difference is that like everyone else, employees are expected to PAY for it. I pay for my the health insurance provided by my employer (and the employer is not Walmart) - I do not ask or expect someone else to support me financially by paying for my health expenses. Kingdom values are exemplified by first taking care of our needs (rather than asking others to do so) in order to be able to personally help our neighbor.
