Please add "Smelling Land, the Hydrogen Defense Against Climate Catastrophe" by Canadian engineer David Sanborn Scott to this list. It is a complete eye opener and lays out a vision of a better way of life, truly sustainable, for the planet, not just our country. Hydrogen electrolysed from water (not natural gas, as Pickens proposes) using non-fossil generated electricity (which includes nuclear, fears about which are laid to rest in this book) will power transportation in this new world. All we need to do is make it our goal and we can do this, together with the Canadians. YOu can order the book from the website www.smellingland.com, or from Amazon.
Anyone truly interested in how to get us out of this global warming mess, go to www.smellingland.com and see what Canadian engineer David Sanborn Scott has to say about switching to a hydrogen-based energy system. He has laid it all out, why and how we can do this. His vision of a new cleaner, fairer, better world with airplanes (and other land transportation) powered by liquid hydrogen, produced mostly from non-fossil fuels (hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear, which by the way is SAFE, as you will read in his chapter on nukes). I only hope that Obama's energy team is consulting this man!
