Did you think that the thousands of gasoline stations would just "switch over" to hydrogen tonight?

For cars? I don't know....]]>Jun 16th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/http://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/Jun 17th 2008 5:57PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/http://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/
In my humble opinion the answer for our current situation is plug-in hybrids (PHEV) or all electric vehicles. With the improvements that have been made car manufacturers could start making them within the next two years. Even taking into account the electricity coming from coal plants they still are cleaner than todays model of cars. With most people recharging at night (off peak rates for even cheaper recharges) there would be no overtaxing of the power grid. The real beauty is that with more and more of our power coming from renewables every year, the cars would actually get cleaner as they got older.

2. stop going to work . sound's even stupider don't it
3. don't pay the mortage , auto insurance . gas or electric .insanity ?
no these entiedies will cry out to the goverment for help so bad that change will have to be made... , but enough people are required to make this work. for which entide would want to pay expences , and not have income to support it ? none of them
use your power. before it's to late.]]>Jun 18th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/http://www.switched.com/2008/06/16/hondas-hydrogen-powered-clarity-coming-to-the-us/http://www.aptera.com This car can get 300 miles to the GALLON for the gas/electric hybrid. It's being offered in California only for the first year or so, then the rest of the world as soon as they research and implement needed additions.

good news: there are better alternatives for ethanol than corn and soy, namely, switchgrass and algae. An algae farm the size of Maryland can produce enough ethanol to supply the entire airfleets of the world. Just imagine what we could do with larger farms in the deserts and cold reaches of the world. Best yet: the technology is here!

good news part two: there are methane crystals in the ocean that can supply 110% OVER demand, providing we can find a safe way to process them. Canada has a head-start on this. They are a completely renewable resourse.

good news part three: there are electric/human hybrid vehicles available, which takes care of two problems: renewable power and obesity. If your teenager wants to borrow the car, they'll have to go out and pedal a bit to charge up the batteries. Sit back and imagine that... = )~ Happy thought, isn't it? Or "mommy/daddy, I need to go to fill-in-the-blank!" Start pedaling, kid!
Put "human/electric hybrid' into the Google search engine and see what's out there.

good news part four: solar and wind power are getting cheaper and easier to use.

Start reading Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and Scientific American, among others, keep on top of what's out there. It's pretty mind-blowing.

Then there's good old conservation and consolidation that everyone is expounding. Lot of cons, yeah? Whatever hits Big Power and Oil Corporations in the wallet and makes them go "yikes!" and keeps money in YOUR wallet can't be all bad.
