It is tragic that so much money is being wasted on research into technologies like coal to liquid fuel, ethanol, bio-fuels, solar, wind etc. that make no economic sense on a massive scale.

Large electric power plants are the only way to reduce CO2 and meet our energy needs. People wish it weren’t so, but that’s where physical laws take us.

Hopefully more studies like this one will point our policy makers in the right direction.

And what do you propose to run such a plant on?

Electric jets ? I didn’t know that was possible. Please tell me more ! Or maybe the Repulsine electric flying saucer will replace all our fighters, bombers, and airliners ?

Did you forget that our military strength, airline industry, etc. do not have electric alternatives yet ? They are kind of important to us as a nation.

Sure, but it's FedGov money or Calif or some other Gov't money, not real money. How about that Energy Dept? What are they now? $15 billion a year?
