While i agree with you 100% i do have to say...

Wind energy is not the answer.

Look at Abilene, Texas Wind turbines EVERYWHERE and 90% of the time only a hand full of them are turning. Its unsightly, and they dont produce nearly as much power as advertised.

Hydrogen is probably not the answer.

too volatile?

Nuclear power is not the answer for obvious reasons.

i mean we could list hundreds of viable options and write a friggin manuscript filled with things wrong with each one of them

I think that you have to move toward cars like the Aptera - the SOB can go a couple of hundred miles at highway speeds before it requires a recharge.

for me... thats about 4 days of work related commuting.

the thing about progress Zach - is that it is generally slower than frozen molasses flowing up a hill.

and our RETARD government could have started a NEW ERA if they had only injected that stimulus money into a car company like Aptera instead of blowing it on GM
