Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years
scottennis writes "Yahoo is carrying a
story about Iceland's plan to wean itself from fossil fuels.
The article states that Iceland is giving itself 30-40 years to kick the oil habit completely. Of course some researchers estimate that in 30-40 years we won't have much of a choice."
I agree but from what I have been told hydrogen fuel cells won't work because of the energy (heat) needed to make them work, and Geothermal won't produce enough power. I believe that the only way to go is nuclear.
I personally would love to see the middle east die when all their cash cows dry up. I hope to live that long. I would imagine that most of the fighting would soon stop also, becuase of lack of funds.
The more I learn about science, the more my faith in God increases.

Population: 277,906 (July 2001 est.)
There's more people in an average city.
Anything Iceland does is not really relevant on a world scale.
