An article in (on?) today's SF Gate, about bio fuels etc. My comment:
Bio-fuel harvests are destroying rain forests and critical habitat all over the Third World. Here, as some one already said, corn is a subsidy pretending to be a fuel solution. There is no such thing (italics!) as clean coal - a life destroying endeavor from start to power release phase. Hemp would be good, but. . .
However - all of these solutions involve burning something, at some point, with by-products. . .
Hydrogen (combustion by-product - water) is the cleanest, but maybe a new form of pollution to consider.
We need a new government funded Skunk Works to take on this problem. Total conversion of matter to energy. But they'd have to fund it through black-ops or some other 'secret' source, cuz the folk in D.C. remain in deep pockets and Big Oil wouldn't like that.
