I'd like to see the next President go on national television and put out a public challenge to the private sector to develop viable alternative energy sources that even America's poor people can afford - with the winners being given government contracts to adapt military and other government facilities, ships and vehicles.

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Zephyr: "Methane - cow's fart it." Yes, but so do we. Sounds like the typical flatulence blame game. (^:
Well, if you are talking about Bush sanitizing NASA data so it won't support global warming or the FDA pumping out pseudo science reports to keep their pharmaseutical bosses happy, no government isn't better than the private sector (and colleges/universities). If you are talking about something like the US Geological Survey, then yes, specific types of government research has credibility. Chan: why keep using "you are full crap" when you can disagree and give some details? Update: they just came out with a new type generator to use with windmills that will boost their power by 50 percent. I support wind power generally, although my preference would be consumers themselves becoming independent of large energy companies who then monopolize energy sources. For example, have your own windmill and solar panels, unplug from the public electrical grid, recharge you electrical vehicle with wind and solar energies.

Hydrogen is also a major component of salt water. Any water is H2O salt or otherwise..

In order to get the hydrogen from the water, you need to use some other form of energy to break it down into its constituent parts. Hydrogen shoudln't be thought of as a form of alternative energy, but as an energy storage mechanism. It's not cheap to get it.
Oh Michael, do you have a reputable source for the claim about the FDA pumping out fake reports for pharmaceuticals. I want to use it as a source in a paper I am working on. I would appreciate it if you had it.

It is called an internet search. It takes minimal typing skills, minimal computer equipment and clicking a mouse button. If you are saying you missed the FDA scandals, then you just don't want to believe the truth. Take your patronizing somewhere else.
I don't play the right source game. I cite the Washington Post, the New York Times or even McClatchy and you say they are biased and turn right around and cite Fox News or the National Review or the Washington Times as your "impeccable" sources. If you want to ignore that scandal, go ahead, but don't claim credibility ever again.
