It was the Bush Administration who, in 2003, proposed alternative energy funding of hydrogen, nanotechnology and fuel cells to combat global warming...way ahead of the dimwitted Gore.

If anything will save us in the next decade, it will have not been polemic film making, but farsighted governmental funding of real science by the Bush Administration...funding that will blossom into fuel cells, hydrogen technology, nuclear batteries and nanotechnology.

But we don't need nanotech or even advanced hydrogen fuel cells to solve the problem.

We have the ability to solve it now, with our current level of technology.

Nanotechnology- simply a buzzword that really means chemistry or materials physics. It sounds nice but means nothing as far as real world applications.

Fuel cells: a fuel cell capable of powering a Honda Civic costs more than a Bentley.

Nuclear batteries-Tom Swift and His Triphibian Atomicar 1962 made great reading in third grade but the idiot that left it on Bush's nightstand should be shot. He (Bush) thinks it's a briefing book.

an excerpt:

An atomic-powered car that travels on land, water, and through the air -- Tom Swift Jr.'s latest invention -- is an extraordinary achievement. But even its young inventor could not anticipate what a dramatic role the Triphibian Atomicar would play in a technical aid mission which takes Tom and his top-flight engineers to the untamed Asian land of Kabulistan, to help the new republic develop its natural resources.

Time and again Tom must pit his skill and courage against fierce, nomadic tribesmen. But this is not a one-sided conflict between the ancient and the modern. Beneath the façade of thunderous hoofbeats, spears, and scimitars is a scientific mastermind bent on destroying the members of the Swift expedition in order to conceal from the Kabulistan government his discovery of a fabulous ruby mine lost for two centuries.

After a series of danger-packed episodes, Tom and his pal Bud Barclay are caught in a seemingly inextricable, underground trap. How Tom builds a "do-it-yourself" rocket in a cavern laboratory and sends it homing for aid is a brilliant stroke of ingenuity.

The young scientist-inventor's daring exploits in the primitive Middle East country of Kabulistan will keep the reader breathless with suspense until the last page of this gripping story.

It's nice to know jabailo and GWB share the same reading list.

Put the Carbon Back

We have the ability to solve it now, with our current level of technology.

Again, another victory for Bush.

He wisely saw that solar and wind were better left to commercial developers...and they've soared.

At the same time, nuclear batteries and nano will enter the market later on an relieve us further.

So, if Al Gore had never existed, or the "green movement" or the IPCC, we'd be in the same state we are now -- ready to solve the pollution and energy problems -- thanks only to George W. Bush.

But it took you guys until now to make it feasible.

Just like nuclear batteries and fuel cells.

[Note to barnacles: Insert comment here about "they|oil companies|Illuminati|World Bank" held back solar cell technology for years.]

And of course, there's the utter idiocy where the eco-inactivists claim on one hand that The Green Economy is Doomed And We Should Just Continue To Rely On Oil and Coal...

...and on the other hand when it comes to Dubya, suddenly we're "ready to solve the pollution and energy problems" and all the doom and gloom miraculously disappears.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?

You will reduce your Co2 levels precipitiously when all human industrial and sociological systems totally collapse.

The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.

Methinks they would soar more if he gave 'em the same tax breaks and incentives that he does his oil and gas buddies.
