and volcanism returns spewing out millions of tons of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere out gassing even those ridiculous automobile exhaust emissions to accelerate global warming driving the world into the corner of the blood red full moon 1/3rd its size?

The answer may be blowing in the wind of course-wind electrical generators and solar electron harnessing technologies. What the federal government should do is immediately cut all taxes on purchases of solar and wind technology and develops a preference for independent home power production for automobile electric power. The federal government should support national development of infrastructure transformation renewal projects that would end trade deficits and reliance on foreign technologies. Competition through invention and innovation would much better than silly rival projects such as producing synthetic gasoline from coal since the U.S. oil reserve is largely depleted. Highway resurfacing technologies to make all the nation's southern highways solar collecting roadways from which electric cars might get a charge and even electric trucks would be useful. Scientific published an article on using hydrogen in a liquid form as a coolant for super-conducting and electric storage perhaps better synergized as a loop for storage of day time electricity.

In many areas of the nation saltwater is available for electrolysis conversion of hydrogen from solar and wind generated electrons, there should be serious and accelerated coordination of national efforts to make individual citizens independent fuel producers for their battery powered and hybrid plug in electric engine cars for themselves. Corporatism is as antipathetic to democracy as is autocratic socialism and must be defended against through liberation of U.S. individuals from purchases of automotive fuel from the corporate world as soon as possible. It is a mistake to underestimate the serious negative consequences of the inertial power of historical fossil fueled internal combustion engine on U.S. political well beingness as well as environmentally.

The sun actually is said to send as much power to the earth in 2 or 3 minutes each day than the whole human population consumes in a month. Individuals just generally lack the ability to go out front themselves and purchases the entire speculative mixed bag of electric car, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, solar panels, wind generators and so forth. Perhaps most cities in America with wind don't even have a local wind and solar power sales and installation contractor that can put a thousand watt wind generator on a pole on a roof or 500 watts of solar panels for an attractive cost. Solar powered paint, solar power plastic and a variety of solar materials and wind materials should reach even into wall-mart. The non appearance of 600 watt marine hardened wind generators in Wal-Mart for fewer than 300 dollars must be a corporatist block to prevent the consumers from moving toward liberation from international corporate control of the power supply. They keep Gillette's 'The Hot One' shave cream out of stores too and hidden away in a few remote Hudson's Bay Stores running silent and running deep toward the Frankenstinian fracas of expensive power.
