I thank you for the post. Our government and the agencies that are supposed to protect us have been bought and sold for many decades now. Like she says money and stock holders is their bottom line and the rest are expendable.

Yes but what's the better option right now? There just quite frankly is not an affordable vehicle that runs on an alternative fuel. And if you say Corn Ethanol I'm going to fly to your house and punch you in the mouth.

Still not that great. Yields twice the ethanol of corn, but that's only 6%. Algae is about the only biofuel at this point that I consider economically viable AND environmentally friendly. Cellulosic Ethanol has great potential but quite frankly I'm opposed to ALL biofuels because they still entail burning alcohol and releasing carbon into the atmosphere. Granted, growing crops sequesters carbon to a point, but I have a very hard time calling anything environmentally friendly or "green" if the end result is burning it and exhausting it through a tailpipe.

Its a step up from the 454 chevy getting 5-8 mpg, the only real answer is less automobiles.

well no it's not really. That same chevy still gets the exact same mileage on biofuels. That's exactly why I'm so opposed to them, they do NOTHING for efficiency, they just change the source of the emissions. People take their H2's and convert them to biofuel and then continue to get 10mpg but they feel all warm and fuzzy inside because it's supposedly "green"

Or how about something realistic? Like electric motors recharged at night by renewable resources

Solar and Wind is gonna happen in this country, if we have people with brains in any energy sector, its these ones.
I'll miss internal combustion engines however 
Nothing like hauling ass shooting gasoline out the tail pipe.

Our biggest obstacle is the fuel companies we have. There was an electric car that worked well but guess who put a stop to that. Ethanol is still using gas in its mix and not good for the planet, its like me saying that i can`t do coke but meth will not hurt me in the long run. I also love this stupid phrase cleaner burning coal, really is this not a stupid saying. Anyone who has been to the open prairies where I live know that wind is always blowing but it cost over $5.000 of your own money to put up wind generator and you will still not be able to go off the grid with that one, you need the bigger one which is several thousands more and this price does not include the tower, that cost is separate.

That's where the "smart grid" comes in.
Power will flow both ways in the future. When the wind is blowing and sun is shining at your house you will be generating energy for your home plus extra, and the power companies will be able to buy that energy from you in exchange for being able to pipe in power when you need it to your home.
Most homes will also have a large amount of batteries that will be charged by your own means so you don't have to go to the power company for your electricity if you don't want to.
They don't want us to go off the grid, just make it more efficient.

Wireless power grids are the future. Monthly payment and you could be hooked in, of course it's useless outside the grid but that's where solar could pick up the slack.

Not solid evidence but keep an eye out for people down there
talking about crops and plants being contaminated....
If its truly oil / toxic dispersant already rain down on us then
we are in a world of shit when the storms start to hit one after another.
