Climate change demands fuel efficiency, not ethanol
"The most direct
impact of climate change will be on China's grain
production," deputy director of the National
Climate Center, Luo Yong told the Science Times
newspaper.
What about America's grain production? Is America some how immune?
Global warming and climate change are almost assuredly going to result in massive natural disasters, droughts and severe weather swings that could destroy entire crops for years or even decades. What condition would the U.S. be in if our food and fuel crops were wiped out by a climate change disaster, even if just for one year? How can you fight global warming if you don't have any grain to convert to fuel? How many people would starve?
Isn't it time to accept the serious possibility that going green by going yellow might be impossible and even harmful?
Technology provides the possibility of producing automobiles, even SUVs, that are 75 percent more fuel efficient than today based on Today's technology - not on fuel cells nor the hydrogen economy.
Carbon-fiber plug-in hybrid vehicles would enable the far majority of Americans to use only electricity to power their vehicles almost ALL of the time. Still, in an emergency, such hybrids could still use ethanol, gasoline, diesel, hydrogen etc. if electricity was not available.
Isn't it time to set aside political pork and payoffs? Isn't it time to get serious?
