..something like 25,000 traincars (aka big dirty bombs) criss-crossing the US for the next quarter century. Is this a good idea?
Is that true? Is it 25,000 per year or per quarter century?
France has a massive nuclear power industry - how many tens of thousands of traincars do they have shuffling around?
Brazil started their alternative fuels programs in the 1970s. If we start now with satellite offices, work at home, carpooling, mass transit, micro cars, flex time, 10 hour/4 day workweeks, etc. we may have something in 40 years...or even sooner.
Does Brazil do any of those things? BTW, I think I'll point out that the carpooling, etc has nothing to do with alternative fuels.
Lastly, I will ask if you know the best way to encourage people to carpool, use mass transit, 4 day work weeks, etc? It's high gasoline prices.
People keep saying that ethanol is a lousy alternative but they mostly mean ethanol from corn. Now they're talking about ethanol from sugarcane or switchgrass as being much more efficient so now they come up with more problems.
I guess you want to have the tariff on ethanol imports removed?
I do. |
