		<description>Everyone in the world knows in the future all of our renewable energy will come from hydro-eletric power generated from the oceans waves.

Don&#039;t it make you mad to know the waves are scheduled to stop next week. It makes me mad to know that there are no people writing about this, the solution to the worlds energy crisis.

I believe if you want to know the answer to these important questions you should ask a few billion people, surely we already have the answers.

Thanks for asking 20 years ago!

Good Luck!

Please do us all a favor and pass this info to someone who cares.

Cuidate, Chao

		<description>I hope President Mr.Barak Obama does something constructive for the climate control programme...bcoz of global warming the contries which are going to get effected are the North Americans and the Europians.. I don&#039;t want anything to happen like what happens in The Day After Tommorow......I hope America (U.S.A) takes the initative...I know they are under recession...but its better late than sorry....I hope and Pray for them......</description>

		<description>Greg, that is factually incorrect. Obama has cosponsored many energy and climate bills, and consistently votes for them.

Here are his 24 votes in the Senate, showing a very consistent record of voting for clean energy. You can click through to the Senate rollcall details to see which are cosponsored by Obama.

http://dotcommodity.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-obama-voted-on-clean-energy.html

He is not on the Environment Committee, so he does not initiate bills, but he has cosponsored many of these bills, and with Sen. Cantwell and Sen. Hatch he proposed the EV subsidies that McCain shot down by not turning up to vote in Dec for the 2007 Energy bill</description>

		<description>As a United States Senator Obama could have sponsored or co-Sponsored bills for all these proposals.  As a United States Senator Obama did not sponsor or cosponsored bills for any of these proposals.  It is easy to talk the talk, but he is ineffective in making things happen.</description>

		<description>nuclear power looks to me like part of the  answer to our energy problem but not how mccain and the republicans think. we can use wind, solar and hydro power supplies of energy as well. the key fuel to create is hydrogen. It is know fesable to have hydrogen power our existing infrustructure. BMW converted a a stock gasoline engine to run off hydrogen or gasoline  (the BMW hydrogen 7) with minor modification.  all vehicles are capable of being run off hydrogen. It is possible that all combustion engins can be converted to run on hydrogen. however it is better to run on electric motors like the honda idea that uses hydrogen to produce electricity to run thier electric motor  in the Honda FCX clarity available know on lease. I see these 2 idea as a long term and short term fix to the energy crisis. the  BMw idea can be done now on our existing infrustructure that runs primerly on gas  and we can slowly upgrade our infrustructure over time to primerly run on electricity from hydrogen like hondas plan.

summary of production

1)use are nuclear power plants, solar energy, hydro plants, wind mills to produce electricity 

                                                                +

2) use sea water which is free. Introduce it to electricity produced  from our renewable sources listed above  (electrolosis takes place) this create pure liquide hydrogen - fuel for our vehicles and fuel to heat our homes if you dont have central air powered by electricity 

                                                                +

3) liquid hydrogen can be turned into electricity by way of fuel cell- power for our homes 

                                                                 

* short term solution- can be done in the next few years*

some National Hydrogen Association  companies are projecting that they can produce and deliver hydrogen economically to fueling stations at costs as low as $1.20/gallon After adding the average US highway taxes (federal and state) of $0.43/gallon  thats a cost of $1.63 a gallon at the lowest price. *make hydrogen pumps available at every gas station

 

* require auto makers to make available modifications to run gasoline engines  properly on hydrogen  at delerships and provide subsidies 

* federal goverment can provide subsidies to help fund  modificatons on home oil heating systems to run on hydrogen   

 

*long term solution* 10 to 30 years down the line

upgrade entire infrustucture to run primerally on hydrogen and electricity  no gas no coal no fusoil fuels.  this will resolute in our country having an unlimited supply of energy we would not have to conserve or buy over seas our goverment would profit from taxes as usual, energy companies would still make their profits not as much as they do now but they will make a good amount and we the poeple would have a set cheap price for fuel uneffectable by spiculation and supply and demand being we would have a unlimited supply of hydrogen  + we would be the cleanest envirmental  nation in the world with Zero emmision and serve as an example to other nations to help turn back global warming

		<description>Where did everyone go?    Its June.  I stumbled on this conversation when looking for some information on Obama&#039;s committment to environmental issues.  I would like to hear more if you&#039;re out there.</description>

		<description>Robert - DeSmog has joined the delayers. So what? Some wise person once said &#039;it only takes a few, dedicated people to change the world&#039; or something like that I am paraphrasing.

Barack Obama&#039;s plan is good one, my only worry is making it happen politically, with lawsuits tying it up, etc. We dont have the time for that. I think we really do need a world war II -style effort. American&#039;s have survived rationing before, how about rationing gasoline, energy use? Right out of the gate we can begin to see reductions. Take over some temporary control of some carbon-intensive industries and make the changes happen that need to happen. How about a temporary national sales tax, the money to go directly into developing clean energy and creating jobs? In world war II we re-tooled for a massive war effort, in 2008 we can start re-tooling for a massive attack on the problem of global warming. People grumbled at the beginning of the war too, but in the end the effort made America greater and the world a better place.</description>
