New record at the pump: 80

$4+/gallon is obviously not painful enough. If it were then we’d have the national will to bring out hydrogen fuel cells for commercial use. Or put up solar cells over 3 or 4 Nevada counties and provide electricity to power everything we need in this country. It’s true, just a few desert counties (small counties too, added together about the size of San Diego county + a little bit of Imperial) and we would be able to meet all of our energy needs from a domestic, non-carbon producing, non emissions emitting energy source – we’d just have to put up with those ugly transmission lines – NIMBY!!! Unfortunately, as noted above, it’s a matter of national will. The only thing resembling a national will in the few years is to get and spend a HELOC as quickly as possible.

“The Clean Energy Scam – “CORN ETHANOL IS ENVIRONMENTALLY DISASTROUS””

This is indicative of three things:

1: Special interest trumping common sense. This was known long ago.
2: We don’t have the foggiest idea of how to arrange our society in the face of a new energy reality
3: The invisible hand is flipping us the bird

Maybe its time to re-introduce commercial Hemp cultivation.

It grows like a weed, and has myriad uses other than making ethanol.

Obviously, many people equate Hemp with Marijuana – but they’re different species – Hemp has only a fraction of the THC content of Marijuana (THC being the ‘active’ ingredient in MJ).

Also, with the increasing outcry over the wanton use of plastics (now bobbing in the sea by a beach near you), hemp also produces everything from fibre to wax. Its a truly amazing plant, and sadly vilified in this age of “Drugs Are Bad, M’Kay”?

Hey, even George Washington grew hemp commerically…..

“Electric cars will never be scaled up to any level close to what we see for personal transport today for numerous reasons.”

And those reasons would be? People would miss the gas stations? There isnt enough Steel to make cars anymore? Batteries dont work? Solar energy cant drive cars?
