Now we're getting somewhere.
"Or we can split water and get the hydrogen from there, but you know what, it take ELECTRICITY to split the water and where does that flow of electrons come from? You guessed it, fossil fuel.."
It doesn't have to come from coal burning plants and you know it. Part of that GW $45 trillion dollar price tag is for development of nuke plants. I am in complete favor of nuclear power, the Navy has been using nuke power for decades with excellent results. We need to work on storage for the spent fuel rods, though. I'm sure we can launch a payload of them out of Earth's orbit at some point.
We have electric motors that'll snap your neck with torque and horsepower, if we could make a small efficient solar panel that'd charge the batteries & had compact backup generators, an alternative car can't be too far off, eh?
We will never agree that mankind's CO2 discharge is entirely to blame for global warming, but I'm game for real solutions to eliminate it, if we must. What we need to do is keep the politicians out of the loop, this is their new source for a "money grab", wouldn't you agree?
