Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.</p> Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases.

If any countries are going to start turning to carbon reduced power, the US must lead the way.

The next elected president, I feel, will be the turning point…. they will decide whether the world will pull up its socks and do something about climate change. It could be very exciting… or very dissappointing.

I was the most impressed in Wednesday's debates (1.16.08) with Clinton's commitment to investing ($50B) in research for clean energy technology, which will surely be necessary if we are going to ever look beyond coal.</p> I think its important to keep in mind what the democratic candidates are saying about life after coal.
