Energy.... It is very important that all vehicles be changed to diesel hybrids...A vehicle that can use both biodiesel...petro diesel...and VSO....along with electrical energy capture is what is needed...and is available now.... This will cut gasoline demand by 95%.... India is in the process of setting up enough biodiesel produced by agriculture that it will erase their gasoline needs in 15 years... The combination of biodiesel with SVO can supplant 95% of gasoline demand... Annual feedstocks can be peak ready in 5 years... There are hybrid vehicles today that get from 70 to 200 mpg.... Wind...Solar...Wave motion.... technologies are cost worthy now.... As fossil fuels wind down...the alts replace.... .................................................................................................. Taxes and government To level the globalization opportunity field....Firstly...all governments must be capitalistic democracies... Each country should have a flat 10% to 15% tax with no tariffs and no agricultural subsidies...All banks operate under the same norms... Eliminate all corporate medical and retirement programs...Companies will pay wages only..... Eliminate legal largesse...This adds 40% to every price you pay for most all US goods... All Central Banks will be eliminated...there will be one currency.... No government debt will be allowed...and the whole governmental process will be internet based...The people will decide by internet how tax money is to be spent....The good ole boy system will be finished.... ............................................................................................... Education....Will become more internet based at virtually no cost to the public....The world will no longer allow wealth and priviledge to set one's career... ................................................................................................ Workers...If you are good at what you do...you will earn more than those who are not good at what they do......at the same job...regardless of race or sex...or age..... A worker at the same job at the same qualty in another country will make the same wage... ............................................................................................... The point is that the world can operate on a level playing field and thus best utilize the opportunities that it beholds to all individuals.... ...................................................................................
bio fuels are ludicrous. They need petro chemicals to grow the crops they are made from and their use will tie up agricultural resources and raise the price of food. The obvious good choice is hybrid cars using gasoline and also rechargeable from the electrical grid and the electrical grid powered by nuclear plants.
Excellent commentary ... Maxpi....of course the most sensitive issue is net energy gain when considering alts... This is why VSOs are so important...processing most alts require fossil fuel processing...This would require the min.. The idea here is to not eliminate fossil fuels...but to drastically reduce the quantity used...while having the most positive effect in the shortest period of time... Simple case...A hybrid diesel in warm climate countries...could utiize VSOs..along with petro diesel or processed biodiesel... Electricity capture....using a two tank VSO...Biodiesel..Petrodiesel would make the mileage go to 70 plus mpg min... The US would go a long way just by merely moving to diesel... France is over 51% diesel....The US is less than 2%... ................................................................................ Things are starting up again..just like 1980...when prices fall...they will cool down fast...This is why the ETFs are so speculative.. ................................................... This time around though..more wind...solar...etc...and prices coming down... ........................................................... The conventional feedstocks are not economical...however other feedstocks will be used for India's program.. http://www.d1plc.com/about/management.php Even has an Instinet ex board member in one of the companies... ........................................................... Hybrids have a lot of potential...and when solar gets to a $1 per watt...this will be a big help....Some warm weather countries can convert most quickly ...ahead of cold weather temperates....Solar will get to a $1...soon..This will speed up the changeover time...
