I know this is a bit off the original topic but i couldn't let this go unchalanged as if it were fact.

The electric car has been brought to market. Almost nobody ever buys them because they're more expensive than a normal car, and who wants a car that you can only drive around for an hour or two before you have to recharge it? The more power(how fast it goes) the car has the less driving time before a recharge.
I think the hybrid is a good idea. I hope it does well and eventually every car is a hybrid.

Wacky liberal environmentalism at it's best/worst.

Heating? No we don't.
Solar power? yes.... we can get enough energy from the suns resources alone to NEVER need oil.

Solar panels are not affordable. I've seen statistics where it would cost $100,000 to convert an already built home to be heated off of solar power only. How many years would it take for a system like that to pay for itself? Not to mention the large amount of space they take up compared to the amount of power they generate.

Hydrogen conversion works kind of like this: water+electricity=hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen+oxygen=electricity and water.
Since there are no huge reserves of freed hydrogen sitting around on earth you have to free the hydrogen from the water. To do that you need ELECTRICITY. It all comes down to The Law of Conservation of Energy. Where do we get our electricity? Petroleum and coal mostly with some hydroelectric.
Instead of burning the petroleum in cars we'd be burning it in the hydrogen factories.

Yes, let's be realistic. If the answers were that easy the problem would be solved.
