I’ve seen lots of cars and trucks (mostly trucks and taxis) that use CNG as their fuel. It seems relatively safe. I’ve just never seen it actually being sold off the lot.

#7 is indeed very interesting and promising. Any technology that simultaneously deals with the huge amounts of waste that humans dole out and produces renewable energy is good in my books. And as you said, the article states that the hydrogen “feed” could be managed more like electricity.. with hydrogen being directly piped into a system, thus limiting the risks of storage.

Cool stuff.

I also see now that the Nuclear “initiative” that President Bush was supposed to announced turned out to be not so great. Oh well. It was a nice thought.

#7 sounds like the most promising. My concern with natural gas-powered vehicles mirrors that for the pebble-bed nuclear technology. Natural gas is a Division 1 explosive gas, as is hydrogen. Storage in a vehicle will require significant safety features which may make any automobile too heavy or unwieldy–might be of use in other vehicles, though. Option 7 may allow for the concurrent production of fuel during its use, reducing the storage problem.

Hey it’s all good Jane… eventually everyone on all sides will be singing the same tune. The only ones not will be those with an agenda… though as it gains prominence it is inevitable that the “agenda” will shift as well.

From Kathleen Parker, conservative opinion writer:

“Earth is getting warmer, contributing to weather changes and other well-documented events; and that,

; Man is contributing to global warming by driving gas-guzzling cars (projections are that the number of active cars will increase from 800 million today to 3.25 billion by 2050, thanks mostly to India and China), and by burning coal (half of the electricity generated in the United States and 40 percent of the world’s comes from coal);

And assuming that reducing emissions would reduce warming trends as well as minimize our reliance on foreign oil, some of which finances terrorism … wouldn’t it make sublime sense to err on the side of conservation? To provide incentives to produce and buy hybrid cars that gets 40 miles per gallon? To offer companies incentives for seeking alternative energy sources?”

So it’s not just you lefty liberals who think we need to do something. If she weren’t a conservative, I probably wouldn’t have even bothered to read this piece. Now I’m glad I did and have at long last started to worry about GHG and global-warming.
Are you happy now? lol
