tvoivozhd---I've posted it several times It took Denmark roughly fifteen
years to become energy-independent, via a sort of Manhattan Project,
since they thought it that important. (I have a bunch of Iraqi friends
living there who enjoy it mightily)). Denmark now relies on fossil
energy for only two percent of their total energy requirement---all the
rest comes from renewables, wind, biomass, solar. If they desired they
could eliminate that last two percent of oil-dependence.. The United
States could do it easier and certainly in the same time-span, but feels
no urgency---two or three dollar gasoline is still cheap and our oil
and coal lobby doesn't want to happen. Bush dragged the hydrogen Red
Herring across our energy path a few months back,, but that is to create
the illusion he is doing smething about switching to an oil alternative
fuel. Nothing could be further from the truth---his proposal produces
hydrogen from coal and oil, and doesn't touch the storage of an
incompressible gasl
