26 years ago, when first considering this CO2 "problem", I said to ...... not only was oil not running out, it was obviously going to get so cheap that there would be no return on our research. That was a great call. What do you think about today's situation? Is it going to stay cheap and get cheaper? Thx.

Lindy, hydroelectricity shouldn't be any cheaper than carbon or nuclear energy. Their prices should all be almost the same and "what the market will bear". Energy has transportation costs, so it shouldn't cost the same at every location, and it doesn't.

hydroelectricity shouldn't be any cheaper It's always the cheapest because it's gravity powered. Water is just the medium for gravity. Remember, electricity is "use it or lose it." You can't store it in bulk. The first Hydro also proved the value of Nikola Tesla's patents. Niagara Falls.

Hey MQ: I saw this comment somewhere: "Here is a simple fix [for the Gulf oil spill]: make a concrete dome, with a line coming out the top, hooked to a pump at the surface, drop the dome on top of the pipe, what is outside the dome is crimped shut, what is inside the dome is pumped out on a continuous basis and processed, this will stop the leakage and buy critical time to fix this problem, the dome can be poured and set in a couple of days and can be dropped by crane." Too easy?
