Hydrogen fuel generation will require a massive new infrastructure (public and private money, massive jobs creation) and new, better, cleaner ways of creating and transporting the fuel (public and private incentives to propel technological advances, market driven once the market is created) and will be a long, gradual process of about 15 years until a time when you can fill up your car with hydrogen anywhere you like. You can also have a hydrogen furnace, air-conditioner, etc. But the key is to NOT use fossil fuels to create hydrogen fuel. Therein lies the rub. It wont be a perfect system but it can create more energy than 1000 ANWRS and will result in a much cleaner planet. Bush recommends a small pittance of what is needed. In the future we wont have to worry about Saddam Husseins or Osama Bin Laudens so imagine the huge savings there. new policies for a new century are needed. No matter how many wildlife refuges Bushies plunder it wont get us anywhere closer to energy independence the way we are going. The alternative is to keep our military in the Persian Gulf and Asia Minor for generation or two to insure oilfield security, and to make the oil kings of those regions stinking rich. we're at $34 a barrel now. It could go higher. Think of that saps out of our economy every day.

I am sort of wondering where we are supposed to get vast quantities of hydrogen though. I understand there are huge quantities in ANWR<g>

Eric, re:hydrogen While I support Bush on some issues, this was a waste of time for him to mention. Agreeing with and using your logic, the liberals think we should all be driving electric cars that we recharge overnight at home. Where does the electricity come from? Steve
