I would prefer they focus on promoting fuel cell powered and hybrid cars. I'd like to see them focus on fuel EFFICIENCY just as much if not more than where the fuel comes from in the first place. A gas-guzzler is going to be a gas-guzzler whatever you put in it.
It all comes down to the tax breaks though and if a "hydrogen" Humvee is a better deal than a fuel cell car - guess what people are going to buy?
I am frustrated about solar energy. It feels like no progress has been made in that field for years. Fact is, the energy in sunlight falling on the earth's surface over one year is 10 times the amount tied up in all the reserves of coal, oil, gas and uranium on the planet. (read that last sentence again). It's been estimated that by 2050, renewable energy wil make up half the energy the world uses. I just wish they had more efficient ways to harness the sun's energy.
I like to call myself an advocate of nuclear power, just as long as there's only one nuclear reactor and its 93 million miles from my backyard.
