As I have said in other posts, as far as automoblies go, so far every alternative is a joke. How do you think they are producing these automoblies? Elelctric/Hydrogen/solar, you name it, these cars take a huge ammount of resources (burning fossil fuels which = carbon pollution) just to manufacture. It does not do anyone any good if your EROEI (Energy Returned on Energy Invested) is no good! if a automobile manufacturing plant could produce these alternatives while the entire plant is running off solar or another alternative energy, then you might really be onto something (though this in istelf would take a huge ammount of energy/resources and emit loads of carbon). I find it interesting that with the Hydrogen car for example, in order to remove the Hydrogen from the water to be use for these cars, they have to heat up the water using fossil fuels! So manufacturing the car uses fossil fuels, and creating the fuel...also uses fossil fuels. Where I am pretty excited about what alternatives might come from this suppsosed "crisis" of global warming we have on our hands, I think there are lots of people being exploited over this whole issue. Suckered in if you will, to these "green" intiatives that are as harmful to the environment as the thing they are supposed to be replacing.
Kwesij in your above post you point out the supposed tactics of the "Big Oil" companies to try and spread disinformation and propaganda against global warming by basically having a hand in the climate change studies. Didn't watch the video yet so I can't attest to it being true or false, but I would argue the same is being done on the other side. I know for sure (witnesses this first hand) that marketing strategies are being formulated everyday to capitalize on peoples irrational fear of global warming, by introducing "green" products, when the details themself are shady. Cautious is a good state to be in, but don't think that there aren't just as many people on the other side waiting to spread propaganda and take advantage of your fear in every way possible.
