dude, do you ever know how to harsh people's mellow, or what?

Can someone please explain to me where the power to go into these hydrogen batteries is coming from?

Oh, that's right, new, 'clean' coal power plants!

Whoops.

The only solution (as Kunstler doesn't fail to shut up about) is rebuilding our cities the correct way, so people can actually walk to shit.

Again, this hydrogen has to be extracted from somewhere. We have some reasonably efficient ways to do it, but all involve at least some degree of putting energy into the chemical process to get the pure hydrogen out. Oh, and apparently North America is reaching a natural gas peak (one possible source), too, and it's much harder to ship from overseas than oil

but I don't think we have any idea what we're going to do

it is my contention that the reason being for this is, and i quote micheal bloomberg addressing the people of new york and the world only minutes ago "the war on terror is not over. And it is a WAR we MUST WIN

riiiiiiiiiiiight, focusing all your time on fighting a noun that describes an emotion. good luck on winning that war. are you going to drive in your oil fuled cars to the country of terror, and than bomb them with your nuclear war heads? well, keep focusing your time on that, cause im pretty sure it will pay off.

you could probably make a nifty power plant by designing a giant piston the size of a building that you inject explosives into, like hydrogen bombs. There are a lot of explosives in the world that could go to good use that way...or blow up the city..

cozzz. you don't use this thing anymore ever, do you.
