I agree with most of that except the availability of petroleum. Most of what I have seen suggests peaking production around 2010-2020. There is plenty more natural gas, but with these advanced technologies being developed here etc. coal becomes viable as low cost and low climate impact and versatile (though BP are not so excited about that :)). They (Princeton) are mainly looking currently at burying carbon dioxide in acquifers etc. They also did some work on ocean fertilization. The plant design they are working on involves separating out hydrogen as a fuel. Bradford said he drove a hydrogen powered internal combustion car at Ford's plant and it worked just like a gasoline car. We may look into the economics of establishing a network of hydrogen supply as well as the effects of economy of scale and learning by doing on costs of production. Just starting to read his paper on an alternative to Kyoto. David
