@ThunderheadNebula, you are ridiculous.

John Holdren is Obama's appointed Science Czar. Like all Czars, they were not approved by the Senate, which is unconstitutional. He advocated in his book "Ecoscience", sterilization of the human population by adding a sterilization drug to the food and water supply and the government taking babies away from single mom's.

Of course we can use solar power to make hydrogen so we can store the energy in the gas for later use. Next to a solar field we can like use 10 or 15% of the solar energy to make hydrogen and burn that when there is not enough solar. So, then we would have a method to output stable energy. And we can always use more solar for more hydrogen so we can drive on it too. Only problem is that hydrogen is a bit more dangerous, with explosions and stuff. I don't know the exact technical specifications.

@cypress1337 solar appears to be our best option then... with maybe some geothermal for the bigger cities

[cypress1337]

@wildboy789789 You'll need energy to 'make' hydrogen. I don't know if there is much natural hydrogen.

[Schatje79]

Impossible to use it right now on such a scale. Probably not a good idea either since 95% of America's hydrogen alone is made using natural gas.

[wildboy789789]

simple... find another answer

nuclear energy is clean... except for the radioactive waste

plasma and cold plasma is where we are going to end up eventually for energy, defence, warfare, and transportation

as for energy now? id use water/hydrogen

water levels are riseing anyway and dont tell me we dont have the technology to make an upscale hydrogen energy plant

as for hydrogen waste? just water :)

[TRUMPHENT]

Thorium has the potential of making proliferation very difficult.

Nuclear energy is gaining a lot of interest in the middle east. What is the way to implement it without spreading nuclear weapons?
