Why are you interested in Alternative Energy?: I have a daughter now and worry about her health with rising emissions. I'm also from Texas, where fossil fuels rule. Check out my bio here: http://www.jenniferkorbin.com/bio.html.

Baldwin, et al. See the website for full information and downloads of selected chapters and appendices. This information can be applied by almost anyone to achieve a bit more energy independence.

Impressive? Perhaps. I wrote the fully researched, information dense, ~300 page book in about 10 months. The downloadable chapters should give an idea about the nature of the book...

It looks a little weird and still needs a lot of work but I can prove the low
cost.

I too worry about the future for my children and have a burning desire to leave this world in a better condition than when I first appeared on it.

To that end, I have made it my life's work is to create new, clean, renewable alternative energy devices free of charge, without any restriction on their usage, for anyone to recreate and use or profit from. I really don't care, as long as they proliferate.

My family leaves less garbage at the curbside in a month than most of our neighbors do in a week. To give you an idea why, I work a regular job too. I bring my lunch in paper bags that I get from the package stores and reuse them quite literally for months before they are retired. People laugh. I just smile.

I'm not interested in any prize pack, but I would like very much to meet you some day soon. I will be at the HHO Games in FL this coming November (assuming it actually comes together) covering it for my YouTube video channel, ZeroFossilFuel. It's not just a name. It's the end game.

Thank you for all that you have done for the alternative energy movement. If you should ever be in the Northeast, please look me up at http://www.alt-nrg.org

All the best,
Z

mass production of hydrogen cell autos. We need to protect ourselves and the world by rejecting the oil corporation dominance, oil wars and environmental destruction and global warming caused by burning this fossil fuel.
fThe BMW Hydrogen 7 is the world's first production-ready hydrogen vehicle. Will it go the way of the electric car that was killed by Detroit on the 70's? The answer lies with politicians, oil companies and other world leaders. At the Boston Tea Party the political answer was in the hands of the people throwing barrels of tea overboard (would now that they be barrels of oil).
If democracy were a little more virile the answer might lie in the hands of the people - and if the American people were less polarized into so-called left 'pro-government' and right 'free market' mindsets, we might stop political bickering, band together and find political solutions squarely in the middle, understanding that absolute power in either direction corrupts 'absolutely'. A totally free market without regulations (we are dangerously close to this now) gives unlimited power for corporations to monopolize an industry (oil), buy off the government, defeat alternatives or competition and endanger the consumer.
A government controlled system crushes initiative and innovation, and oppresses the people for the sake of the state. We have seen the abysmal failures of Marxism and other totalitarianism. Somewhere between the elements of socialism and free enterprise, both of which exist in our society, there needs to be a strengthening of the checks and balance or some cognitive recognition when the direction of the dollar is 'to hell in a handbasket' that we need an alternative route out now, not when we run out of oil. Unfortunately, that would be too late, and we will be inextricably bound in that hot unfortunate place.

We need a hybrid car which uses hydrogen fuel cells instead of gasoline. Since both technologies are currently being used in commercial cars, I just don't get why they aren't being combined. There is also a car in production right now that is 100% electric,
goes 225 miles on one charge and from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. It's called the Tesla, but it costs $100,000 dollars.
The auto industry could mass produce something like this for a fraction of the cost, but we need to insist that the next administration in Washington have the independence from oil lobbyists to push oil companies out of the way for this to happen. This way we could get some energy independence without a heavy cost to the environment.

The largest threat to our national security is oil; it has infiltrated our country by thwarting other technologies, empowering rogue oil nations and attracting their terrorists, and by corrupting Washington’s proclaimed goal of representing the American people.

Exxon-Mobil, Shell, and BP have been waiting over 30 years to take the oil in Iraq, which has the second largest store of underground oil in the world alongside along with Iran.
The oil fields are now being drilled, so in that sense it is 'mission accomplished'.

If we spent 200 billion$ (many would call that 1/10 of what the Iraq war has actually cost the US) on fuel cells they'd be out there, and we wouldn't need to deal with these guys at all.

P.S. At home we use PFC bulbs, recycle, have reusable shopping bags, are vegetarians, and have two vegetarian pet bunnies, Marcello and Renata. We have one Subaru Forester PZE (partial zero emissions)and will be getting a 32 mpg or more auto this year and get rid of my Audi A4.
