A Hydrogen-Based Economy

Glog writes "Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall of Wired magazine have written an amazing article explaining why we need to transition to a hydrogen economy. Lots of info there, estimated cost and benefit ... very good solid reasoning for whatever floats your boat - national security, environment, super-duper-charged automobiles."

    But then who would we go to war with? Last time I checked, there aren't any countries that are richer than others in hydrogen.

    NO! There is an evil conspiracy by GW Bush! Big coporations are out to get me! GW Bush must be at fault here! He has to be, he causes ever evil thing in the world!

    I see your number is quite a bit lower than mine, so maybe you have been on vacation for a while, but fact and thought around here have been replaced by conspiracy and whining.

    Please pick up your tinfoil hat desk, or bring your own now.

  3. Get America off arabian oil. by rice_burners_suck · · Score: 0, Troll
    The greatest patriotism is getting America off these damned fossil fuels. Especially the ones that fund the very same terrorism that comes back to kill us and that we have to die to defend against.

    All those stupid people with "No blood for oil" bumper stickers are stupid. They think, ok, instead of fighting and getting killed over oil, we'll discuss our differences with the terrorists (who, by the way, just so happen to want us dead, but that's an unimportant detail) and understand them, because terrorists are just good people who want to make a difference. Yeah, right. See, that's what's wrong with all these idiot liberals. They fail to understand that terrorists are EVIL. They don't give a damn about us understanding them. They want us dead. And all these damn liberals who think otherwise are, in the terrorists' view, a weakness that they can and will take advantage of. Therefore, we should get America off this gasoline and onto something else. And do it as soon as possible. The advantages of this move are:

    • Environmental friendliness.
    • The terrorists can drink their damn oil.
    Oh yeah, and we should still kick the crap out of Iraq and all those other countries while we're at it.
