Climate
change demands fuel efficiency, not ethanol
Thursday,
December 28, 2006
"The
most direct impact of climate
change will be on China's
grain production," deputy
director of the National
Climate Center, Luo Yong told
the Science Times newspaper.
What about America's grain
production? Is America some
how immune?
Global warming and climate
change are almost assuredly
going to result in massive
natural disasters, droughts
and severe weather swings that
could destroy entire crops for
years or even decades. What
condition would the U.S. be in
if our food and fuel crops
were wiped out by a climate
change disaster, even if just
for one year? How can you
fight global warming if you
don't have any grain to
convert to fuel? How many
people would starve?
Isn't it time to accept the
serious possibility that going
green by going yellow might be
impossible and even harmful?
Technology provides the
possibility of producing
automobiles, even SUVs, that
are 75 percent more fuel
efficient than today based on
Today's technology - not on
fuel cells nor the hydrogen
economy.
Carbon-fiber plug-in hybrid
vehicles would enable the far
majority of Americans to use
only electricity to power
their vehicles almost ALL of
the time. Still, in an
emergency, such hybrids could
still use ethanol, gasoline,
diesel, hydrogen etc. if
electricity was not available.
Isn't it time to set aside
political pork and payoffs?
Isn't it time to get serious?
