MM, Hydrogen and electricity are good ideas here. THey just need development. They also need to be economically viable. It's hard to match up to the energy potential of fossil fuels. Hybrid cars are a good start. Even some SUVs are getting hybrid-ized. The motivation here is that if you save 10% on a car guzzling 10 MPG, you'll save more gas overall than if you save 20% on a car sipping 30 MPG. Tenchusatsu

Well, nuclear energy sure is part of the equation, but we also need alternative fuels for cars. Hydrogen and electricity are good ideas here. THey just need development. I think an increase in conservation should also be an important component. And I really think 'kicking the energy addiction' should be made part of the war on terror. A way to rally national support for 'the cause'. ted

mindmeld, nuclear energy sure is part of the equation, but we also need alternative fuels for cars. Hydrogen and electricity are good ideas here. THey just need development. Electricity (and potentially hydrogen) are (can be) product of nuclear power plants. As far as alternative energy, I was all for it, if it can be made economically, but I have to say that now I am more hesitant after seeing a big windmill farm in Austria on my last vacation. They really are a huge eye sore, and in a way a pollution to the senses - sense of beauty of the countryside. Joe
