Reply #14: I leave predicting the future (or resigning yourself to any extrapolation)

[JohnWxy]

to the psychics and prognosticators (doing nothing, I contend, is not a healthy adjustment or a constructive reality based mind-set). I don't have much patience with philosophizing or metaphysical musings. I do support taking action, properly informed with the facts. I do not support giving up without at least trying. Alternative fuels are just part of the equation. Fuel Cell cars offer a very promising technology for the future. They will not use any fossil fuel , or alternative fuels. Wind power, already the cheapest power available, has great potential. Wind turbines can operate hydrolysis plants when power demand is reduced (over-night) and generate the hydrogen needed for fuel cell cars. Solar power also has enormous potential.

I don't pretend to know what the final outcome will be but I do know your predictions will most likely be accurate if we continue to do nothing at all: the story of Tommy theTurd
