-Get H2O from the ocean
-Boil it within the plant Having pure H O and salt
-dispose the salt back into the ocean or wherever
-Take the pure water and put it into the earth- it will take in nutrients from the earth, not harming the trees
-Get all the hydrogen, and put it into automobiles
-The hydrogen thus mixes with the oxygen, polluting water.
Now, one problem with this is the “heat pollution” but, we could use this to boil the water in the first place, and get the hydrogen. If done correctly, I see no problem with this at all.

Honestly, whats wrong with this idea? The main problem with Americans is our procrastination, yes our ideas for a cleaner America is out there, but when the hell are we going to get off our asses and actually DO something? (Furthermore, we are being preoccupied bailing out business’s who made, lets face it, terrible financial decisions, and now instead of going for alternative energy’s, were bailing out those morons. Now the stock market is in the hole, and were going through a huge financial crisis where everyones suffering except for the big corporate owners.)

I am hoping that with this election, we will soon see some changes… and by soon I mean NOW.

We need to take an all-of-the-above approach(except biofuels) to insure our future and make the US less dependent on the rest of the world.
We have already given manufacturing away to offshore interest, hence the major devaluation of our currency. I will vote for the person that vows to reinstate both energy and economic indpendence for all americans.

As a country, we know how to use oil, and oil is a big part of our agriculture, pharmaceutical, polymer, and transportation industries. We have to think beyond just transportation needs if we want to have a sustainable economy.

Realistically, if we want energy independence, we need to pursue domestic oil, rather than exporting trillions of dollars over the next ten years to oil producing countries.

Natural gas, coal, biomass, wind, solar, and nuclear combined can, over the next ten years, provide a certain percentage of our energy needs. Combined with domestic oil production, perhaps result in complete energy independence.

I like Picken’s plan, but believe it would be even better if one could produce the same fuel from biomass, coal, and natural gas.

This can be done, but there’s only one surefire way to do it – convert all of these raw materials to syngas, then convert the syngas to a fuel. That is, we know coal-to-liquids works, gas-to-liquids works, and biomass-to-liquids can work. All three feedstocks can be converted to the same product, and driven in one type of vehicle.

What we don’t need are ten different types of cars (i.e., gasoline, flexible fuel, diesel, CNG, LPG, hydrogen, compressed air, fuel cell (generating electricity on the fly), battery powered (plug in at night, drive during the day), and hybrids). We need to have cars with a standard engine that burns a variety of fuels, or, preferably, burns a single fuel produced from coal, natural gas, and biomass.

My biofuel company hopes to produce a fuel using a process that can convert biomass, natural gas, and/or coal into a fuel for flexible fuel vehicles. We believe this plan can work.
