Missile defense is not ready to go. Even its proponents admit this. It's in the experimental stages but it's Rumsfield's pet project and now that they control the Senate he and Bushies have decided to go ahead with it anyway, to get us "pregnant" with it I suppose while they can. The threat is not out there at presenmt. The claims of North Korean ICBM's are ludicrous and China can be the only real threat. Back to its readiness, no one really knows if it will ever work as planned. And it's a damned expensive experiment. That money could be used for much better purposes, like Homeland Security against REAL threats or renewable fuels programs to get us off Arab Oil. But wont happen in a Bush Administration.

Hydrogen fuel's exhaust is water not poison. The lobbyists for big oil, big coal and parts of Detroit will fight clean hydrogen fuel tooth and nail, but the Europeans are already planning it. It will take time but makes so much sense it will gradually gain accceptance if it ever gets a chance. It will take a visionary like John Kerry to start the job at the top. But even Bush admits hydrogen is the future. He said that onmce in one speech then never again. I suppose his cronies shut him up after that. It's an open secret they dont want American voters to find out about. That oil can be expendable and unnecessary by degrees within 10-20 years. And after that it will gradually run out anyway. They're already going after our last wildlife refuges for new supplies. That's a bad sign, the canary in the coal mine. If we dont change now muich more damage will be done, including wars in the Middle East and terrorism. What would Saddam Hussein be without oil money? A nobody. Al Qaida too. And how muich are we spending to try and destroy them? More than enough to convert to hydrogen over coming years.
