Joe, > Switching the entire electric power generation away from burning carbon and hydrocarbon to nuclear would have an impact. And from there, you can move on to heating, and later on, making hydrogen for propulsion. a) Nuclear power has its own problems, namely with security. In this age of terrorism where the free world is unwilling to fix the problem at its source, nuclear power plants will have to be guarded more fiercely than other types of power plants. b) What's cheaper than directly burning natural gas for heating? c) The production of hydrogen has to be powered by existing power plants, since hydrogen itself isn't the source of energy, but merely a medium to transport and store the energy. Hence the folly of trying to replace fossil fuels with the existing alternatives simply because of global warming. People have already forgotten just how wonderful fossil fuels are as a source of energy. Sure, it can lead to excesses, just like anything else that helps propel an industrialized world. But the reality is that there isn't anything much better, at least not until we figure out cold fusion. Tenchusatsu
