Their efforts grew into an industry that fuels America\u2019s energy needs. To the coal miners of America, past and present: Happy Earf Day.<\/p>\n<p>Next: two little-known men&#8211; Charles and Frank Duryea. On September 20, 1893 they constructed and tested the first gasoline-powered automobile. They were also the first to incorporate into an American automobile business. Now we travel the Earf in gas-powered cars; we owe these two a debt of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Next we honor, this Earth Day, an inventor whose legacy has spread all over the Earf: Gordon Dancy. He invented the first high-density plastic grocery bag,which can handle up to 40 pounds of stuff. That singular invention has benefited our daily life on earth in multitudinous ways.<\/p>\n<p>And, lastly, perhaps America\u2019s greatest inventor of all time: ThomasEdison, whose incredible inventions defined our modern world. Among them, the incandescent light bulb,so that we can see Earfat night. A hero to America and all of mankind. And on this Earth Day, we salute himand so many other capitalist inventorswhose efforts have brought so much joy &#8211;and progress &#8212; to us, the inhabitants, of Mother Earf. <\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: Earth DayApril 22, 2009Watch It!
