1 Low cost oil kept us from energy independence. Gh cost oil will move us to it. We have plenty of "wild" energy in the USA.

All we need to do is collect it. A national power grid with liquid nitrogen superconductors would be a start. If they ever get as warm as liquid CO2 the cost will be reduced greatly.So some physics research would help the process.

But we can afford liquid nitrogen for the system. Windmills where it is windy and solar collectors that last for a long time are part of the solution. The good thing is that during winter storms when there is not much sunlight - there is usually lots of wind.

So they balance out. Nuclear power will be needed for core cities and factories and other intensive energy customers - like aluminum refining. But it will be much safer with the new designs and systems.

But the major part will be new homes with redesigned energy systems that will sip energy rather than consume it. Excess heat from the stove can heat water or run a computer. A house designed as a system with heat transfer all around would cut energy use in half or better.

Many could have houses that are totally free of outside energy sources. If that is true, they could be located anywhere people want to live. That reduces cost of living by using less expensive land.

Add recycled water any one can live anywhere they want - except for the job and many can work on the Internet. We are on the first days of an age of abundance.Enjoy. The only delays we will have will be from people telling us that windmills are ugly and solar cells mess our hair or that insulation makes us smell bad or use some reason to prevent it.

Do not listen to them.

2 Both are calling for energy independence and both are now considering all alternatives. Where they seem to differ:Obama has called for energy independence in 10 years, McCain hasn't stated a time frame. Obama is more cautious with offshore drilling and nuclear power.

I would agree with both on the need for energy independence. After reading 500,000 gallons of oil spilled as a result of Ike, I tend to still have reservations about more offshore drilling. I also have reservations about nuclear considering the nuclear waste disposal problem and living near Three Mile Island when the accident occurred there.

Overall, my views are closer to Obama's.

63swc replied to post #3: 4 I think we need to fix the existing problems, but our emphasis should be on both clean and renewable. Prolonging the use of oil slows progress on global warming. I'm not anti-nuke, but I do question if the money spent on finding a safe waste disposal method could be put to better use in research of some other alternative.

PamPerdue replied to post #1: 5 > A national power grid with liquid nitrogen superconductors would be a start. I would wholeheartedly support that. Electricity is a much more flexible fuel than gasoline: we can use all sorts of different sources, and they're all equivalent to the grid.It balances solar during the day and wind at night, and any new power plant just clicks into it.

Gasoline is still the best fuel for cars, but I think that a real grid would be a good economic incentive to find an alternative.

They say you should never talk religion or politics in social situations. Do you obey that rule or let it all hang out? " (15 answers).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
