‘It’s Not a Silver Bullet’
Europe is ahead of us in several technologies. Wind really began in Europe, although since General Electric has gotten into it, it's [been] moving to the United States in a good way. Germany made a large government investment in solar. In biofuels, technically we're the leader, and I think this year we'll pull ahead of Brazil in terms of actual production.
Right now the U.S. looks to me as though there's a very robust sort of groundswell of entrepreneurial and technical activity. Clean tech is sweeping Silicon Valley.
You sound pretty optimistic.
I've been deeply involved in the technical aspects of this for some years, and everywhere I look, I see opportunity. It doesn't require any miracles. There's still time for us to achieve improvements or implementation of alternative energies before the problem becomes really a crisis. [But] there is a crisis coming if we don't do something, and the crisis is not widely understood. It's really a political crisis that will be caused by changes in rainfall patterns around the world that cause people to migrate on a massive scale. It's not the drowning polar bears that are the real problem, it's the people who won't be able to feed themselves because of changing rainfall patterns.

Comment: Mealer Companies has a non plant based bio-fuel that maintains a constant raw fuel source.
Our vehicles do not use this bio-fuel.. But we are thinking ahead for the people who cannot afford our new vehicles. I am dead serious folks.. Push this company and push the nation's fuel independence and a prosperous America.
As a friend and a cut knuckled working type... We need Mealer Compnaies and we need the McCain 3R!
It's either the McCain 3R and Mealer Companies or the option of having insane new rules enforced on Americans by the "Shape Changer for Change" himself.
Let's spread the word and make this happen!

Comment: Mealer Companies has this under wraps... As we await full funding we are presented with the old problem of paying for fuel tax related infrastructure. We have the plan and it is a McCain plan (the McCain 3R).
This is our last REAL chance to make it work, America. We need this plan first and foremost or the local, state and federal gov'ts will fail without the taxes.
We need jobs and USA mfg.. We need the McCain 3R plan.
This is beyond politics or glamour and stardom.. this is real life!

Comment: Will ALWAYS be the most efficient form of power?? That is a terribly broad and extremely short sighted statement.
