Great Video!!We also need to explore diesel alternatives for existing heavy machinery. To find such a thing could virtually eliminate emissions and air pollution in regions with high traffic and low emission laws. Biodiesel is still not readily available in Central America, and its not cost efficient to convert a fleet. Its still a "developing stages" so heavy machinery warranties are tricky with it.

Hey watch my idea for davos

[NorthernCascadian]

A great idea. Whatever the source, the key is getting funding for technologies that use energy sources substitutes our reliance on fossil fuel energy sources. Then you're solving the energy challenge facing the economy and reducing carbon emissions. If you haven't seen it already, your comments on the Davos response by NorthernCascadian would be of interest.

[MotherNatureEarthMom]

Well thought out - a most excellent idea. We can only hope they listen.

Much better than any other Davos response.. glad to see someone is actually making sense in their video.

Well thought out although it's kind of like putting tollbooths on a highway to pay for the roads. Most of the money winds up going to pay for the operation of the tollbooth.
