What do you think of Pickens Plan?
http://www.pickensplan.com.
Put up a bunch of wind turbines and solar panels to generate electricity for the USA. Use Natural Gas to power cars.
This would:
Build plants and create jobs in the USA for building wind turbines and solar panels. Employ those who install and maintain them.
Reduce the need for foreign oil from the Middle East.
Reduce greenhouse gas emmissions. Natural Gas is very clean burning.
Boost the American auto industry if they see the light and start building natural gas hybrid vehicles.
Seems like a no brainer.
The wind part is great. The natural gas vehicles part doesn’t make any sense for several reasons.
1) Converting all of our cars to run on natural gas would be a massive undertaking.
2) We really don’t have that much natural gas to begin with – around 3% of the global supply and already 25% of global consumption even before converting cars to run on natural gas. Very similar numbers to another fossil fuel – oil.
3) It would be more efficient to use the natural gas in power plants and then use the electricity to power electric cars.
