What about simply covering our road network with solar panel roofs?

That would seem to kill two birds with one stone.

Wait a minute.... Perhaps a bad analogy for this listserv :-)

I got your message, Michael. I quoted both your messages to show that. I
have the same problem with some but not all of my listserves, namely
that I don't get my own messages back. 

Solar seems the way to go in the future, but it means putting down an
area of solar panels as great as what our road network now covers. Wind
means throwing up millions of wind turbines; we already have problems
with cell phone towers. Hydrogen has many problems and seems to depend
on solar or wind to get the hydrogen to use as fuel. Soybeans and other
crops means starving people, as we cut drastically the amount of the
crop needed for food. None of these are easy, and I suspect an ever
changing mix of fuel sources is what we will use in the future.

Someone PLEASE tell me if my posts are getting through!! For some
reason, I don't get my own posts. I've asked this several times and no
one has ever answered, which makes me think they aren't getting through.

The biggest problem with nuclear energy - aside from plants being
terrorist targets - is what to do with the waste. 
Solar is a viable, renewable energy source that will last as long as the
Sun does - about another 10 billion years or so. Water has also been
discussed as a fuel source (burning the oxygen and releasing the
hydrogen - or is it the other way around?), and soy beans are currently
being discussed as an energy/fuel source. 
If more money were given to organizations researching alternative energy
and fuel sources, I'm sure other things could be found that no one has
yet dreamed up. Putting up structures that kill flying wildlife is
absurd (by the way, many cell phone towers kill birds, as well).
