Participants in this thread, including Chris Zell, should *study* www.blacklightpower.com. It is not *quite* ready to hatich, and it will not be an instatnt solution, but it contains the technical elements necessary to preserve and propagate worldwide a decent lifestyle, and transporation as we have been accustiomed to, but with "differences". BLP apparently has in hand the technology leading to a power unit that has hydrogen from any water as a fuel, electricity for users, and a valuable chemical byproduct. It is non-polluting. The valuable chemical bypropducts include a hyper-battery with high cell voltage and a storage capacity well beyond anything now seen. Such could enable electgric cars and efficient storage of energy from wind and solar sources as needed.
Too good to be true? Stay tuned. Do homework. A note about algae for fuel. Conceptually very appealing, but managing it on a large scale may have surprises, such a mutation and vulnerability to parasitic attack, as with the super-hybridized grain crops. While the organisms may live in sea water, sea water is rich with nutrients which will have to be supplied, and such is part of whole which needs consideration.

NIMBYism makes it politically impossible. Even Jim Cramer nixes the idea of investing in nuke building for this reason. My God, look how much political trouble it is just to build windmills !! As for hybrids, here's the problem: you can't sell them or full electric cars amidst broke US consumers who are already defaulting on their homes and average over $5000 credit card debt. Hybrid sales have plunged and - before you can say $4 a gallon gasoline will save the day, let me add that our economy is far too weak to endure expensive oil prices. Obama is right about CAFE standards and forcing US consumers to accept smaller cars. The answer is that we need liquid fuels to run the cars we already own.. All of this can change if somebody can come up with a vastly better battery - that's inexpensive enough to kick consumers into electric vehicles they can afford. Long term, they can be a great bargain as to cost per mile but the upfront cost can be tricky in a broken economy. ________________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by Medford Leas I.T.
