He is short on solutions rock, because there are not one sentence answers to millenia old problems. Settling the "Palestine issue" will not settle the middle east. The majority of the middle east wants Israel gone and dead and washed off the shores of the world. That's kinda of hard to make go away by ceding a bit of land to those that wish for your utter destruction. I'm all for alternate fuels. Hydro power is banned cause it screws up streams, nuclear, forget it, solar is not technologically feasible, wind, forget it even the Senators are NIMBYs where that is concerned. Ethanol? Sure. Electricity & electric cars, sure. Have you looked into the GM EV1 program? Do you know where the 1100 cars they actually leased are now? They are all crushed. So now we are left with an environmental problem with those huge lead acid batteries they used. The Echo seems OK and the Prius is OK excpet they do not get 50MPG, more like 38, which is terrific, but afar cry form 50. Three sentences on a website ain't gonna solve these problems and quite frankly Moore is not in a position to solve them. His strength lies in pointing out others flaws, not actually doing anything about the problems, just pointing fingers at how others who have tired to handle them have done a poor job.
