My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize General Aviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil

Just a note if you ever consider a gas/electric hybrid, with such a short
commute you probably won't see the book gas mileage because the
engine needs to warm up before it will shutoff while driving.

Nah, I want a pure electric vehicle. Plug & play.

That is plug and PAY, Jay, plug and PAY.

And given our impending shortage of electrical generation capacity,
people who move this direction are going to pay dearly in 10-15 years
.... unless they can ramp up the nuclear power plants a lot faster than I
think they can.

In 10-15 years it's probably time to replace that car anyway.

I've yet to see any proof that global warming is man made. I've seen
some evidence that it's more of a solar phenomena.

As for ending the dependence on imported oil, so far hydrogen powered
internal combustion engines look promising but will have the same issues
and propane fueled engines. For now it's petrochemical fuel and there's
more in the USA than the feds will let the oil companies drill for.

Not to mention the vastly overstated forcing of CO2.

Here's a recent scientific report on the effects of solar phenomena on
the climate.
