Bio-diesel is the only short term option and seems to be the one no one talks about. I donā??t know why.

BaseRSX is on the right track.

50 percent of the united state's power is produced from coal.

Hydrogen is a source of stored energy, it takes an external source of energy to produce the hydrogen for use. The new hydrogen programs that Ford and all those other companies on tv are powered by petroleum.

We are living a lifestyle that is unsustainable, we have severly overshot the sustainable human population on the planet. We are causing more species to go extinct in the past two centuries, the last big die off was when earth was hit by a meteor, the only difference is that this die off took millions of years to happen.

We are depleting soil at a rate of 60 times quicker then it is regenerated, the increase of depletion is exponential. With no fertile ground to grow grains our whole food structure will collapse.

Our current lifestyle is unsustainable and the end is near.

Not near enough.

I Am HIGH!!
