Environment Addressing the cultural and mindset aspects of climate change are formidable.
Mr. Al Gore made remarkable progress in this respect. Will it take until the next generation?

Alternative fuels roadmap to lower CO2

Ethanol, biodiesel, cellulosic diesel, jatropha and other cropto-wheels initiatives (hectare jatropha 1,892 liter fuel) Big issues of storage and infrastructure

Energy for 1010 people in 2050

H2 generation, distribution and storage Electricity generation, distribution and storage better battery

Now, well hear from the experts.
