This is Jessica Williamson and you are watching ZapRoot. As monsters goes, vampires are pretty sustainable, consuming only organic material and such. Even though in Halloween is passed, there are vampires everywhere and no I don't mean to describe for Republicans. We have got Vampire books, the True Blood Series on HBO. In this week Twilight featuring Rob Pattinson as a 108-year-old vampire, and that's one vampire I wouldn't mind being vampired. And even better, we have a next project, Parts Per Billion as a thriller, and we thought you should know you have been sucked on right now and you don't even know it. Sadly, it is not wrong, it's your technology. Vampire energy is the juice to get sucked out of electrical socket when you are not even using them. That's right, money is flowing out of your wallet right now. So, let's see what is sucking on you. Some stuff like radios, cordless phones, LCD monitors, and electric toothbrush are not that bad and they will only cost you a few dollar a year. Is that computers, DVD players, VCRs, does anybody still have those, and if especially Plasma TVs can suck you out of house and home. With vampire cost up to 1500 bugs a year. The amount that Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimate that American spend on stand-by energy is 5 % of total energy consumption or $4,000,000 or 27,000,000 tons of CO2 or 3,700,000 million cars worth, how would you want to measure it?

Check out Chrysler, a new to attempt to save the _. It is called the PeaPod It is any day, a neighborhood electric vehicle, which means that it tops at about 25 miles per hour. These things are usually found in gated communities, and golf courses, and that type of thing. It goes 30 miles on one charge and cost about $20,000. I am sorry, how much? Good luck for that, Chrysler. This might be odd news, but official photos of the new PeaPod have been leaked to the press. And like the five photos, that we imported on last month, it looks... exactly the same. You know how the same goes if they broke. I mean, I guess what they are thinking. I guess that's what Honda was thinking as well when they redesign inside to look... exactly like a Peapod and how this for catchy headline, never wait at a red light again. You would have to be a zombie not to ask, what's that spelled. Audi is currently testing a device called Travolution. The in-car gadget searches for wireless signals from nearby traffic lights and calculates how fast the driver should go between lights in order to sail through when it's great. And catch out the Volage. That's just fun, Volage! As you can probably guess, it is French, and it aims to be one of the fastest electric super-cars. It uses in-wheel electric motor technology, meaning the proportion and braking is housed in the wheels. It will have about 300 horse-power and a top speed of 160 miles per hour and 0-60 in 5 seconds, meaning it will eat most gas cars for breakfast. And I want to see upside to take tutorial communism you ask. Well, you didn't really ask, but we are going to tell you anyway. In Yong heng district complains on how this goes along. Anyway all two-wheel electric vehicles have been banned. Gas, electric, whatever you have got with two wheels, it's history. Is it because out the crappy emissions from old scooters. No? Apparently, there have been a bunch of crimes committed with the priviledge riders have gotten away on motorcycles and the government's interesting solution, round up anything with two wheels and crush them with bulldozers. Of course, the result, besides the increase sale in sneakers, motorbike robberies are down 58 % this year. Problem solved. Thanks for watching and come get your sucked on at ZapRoot.com.
