Good article. Now if we can just start down that path...

Nuclear (fission) is _the_ way? Insane.

Hydrogen? You've got some studying to do.

Our waste, laziness, and arrogance are amazing. But we're worth it.

Dinosaurs reportedly were slow to adapt.

Im sorry Barry, but the "N" word is the only way engineers have found
that will reduce global warming, and produce the power needed to raise
the standard of living of China and India to close to that of the U.S.
Many social engineers would like to change human nature to have people
go back to the family farm with goats in the yard, but that will not
happen unless they can get rid of about 3/4 of the population.

What balls!

Energy can be tackled from many angles:

- high efficiency appliances,
- off-shore wind turbines
- tidal generation,
- better, faster and cheaper communications form more home working
- better town planning to reduce car usage,
- superior superinsulated buildings
- passive solar design for buildings, that heat and cool naturally
- distributed power generation, DistrictCHP, microCHP, miniCHP,
- mass introduction of hybrids and electric cars (all feasible due to Lith
Ion and Lith Poly batteries)
- usage of air as an accumulator in cars (never wears out and free and all
around us)
- etc, etc.

All the above makes a hell of a cumulative effect. If the governments make
the regs right now, in 10 years oil demand is right down, and nothing for
the taxpayer to fork out either. It takes 10 years to get a power station
up and running. And a clean environment and global warming tackled. A win,
win, win, all the way. We can see it, and I'm sure the governments can too.
This is where organisations like Greenpeace are very useful. They can set
the agenda.

Nuclear is totally unnecessary.

I have been reading this on saving energy and reducing oil consumption.
I think that it has some good ideas and sites good facts.

What if they have no appliacnes to start with?

You top posted, so no answer.
