 Limitless Affordable Energy without Climate ChangesA long-term energy plan is proposed that will provide clean energy for centuries. It is based on inexhaustible energy sources, accessible energy technologies, limitless energy supplies, and a reversal of atmospheric carbon dioxide accumulation. A few novel energy technologies are identified that will assure sustained growth of world economies and can provide clean energies forever without ecological damages to our Earth. Copenhagen at the Crossroads; Adaptation or Mitigation?In Copenhagen, world governments can choose adaptation or mitigation for dealing with global warming. Adaptation will result in a slow and protracted decay of world economies. Mitigation will eventually restore Earth to a condition without global warming and without climate changes. Negotiations to extend the Kyoto Treaty are failing. Mitigation must be adopted in its place. Development of new energy technologies is the key. Kyoto Protocol in the LimelightThe Kyoto Protocol of 1997 is still the concept for agreeing on a more effective worldwide agreement on dealing with greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing energy consumption is expensive and will strangle economic activities. A new concept must assure that world economies will continue to prosper. Only strong economies can provide opportunities for growing populations. This article introduces such a new approach to climate control. Who Will Win in Copenhagen?U.S. Chamber of Commerce position is indefensible. Growing world economies are producing escalating greenhouse gas emissions. Severe global overheating will change climates dramatically. Rising sea levels, flooding, violent windstorms, and extensive droughts will destroy world economies and will cause economic collapse. World economies must agree on producing renewable energy supplies. Fossil fuel burning must and can be halted completely. Copenhagen Can Open New Era of Clean and Economical EnergiesGrowing world economies are producing escalating greenhouse gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol is ineffective in halting or reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide accumulation. Severe global overheating will change climates dramatically. Rising sea levels, flooding, violent windstorms, and extensive droughts will destroy world economies and will cause economic collapse. World governments must develop supplies of clean and economical energies. GM's MPG WonderGeneral Motors just announced that its new hybrid, the VOLT, can achieve a mileage of 230 MPG. It seems that the figure has been arrived at by selecting an unrealistic set of driving conditions that heavily favor city driving on electric power only. It is proposed that a different set of figures is given to prospective car buyers that are based on the costs of driving on electricity in the city and on gasoline on the highway. Copenhagen Strategies for Saving Earth from OverheatingEscalating carbon dioxide emissions are fouling the Earth's atmosphere and are causing global overheating. A comprehensive plan and enlightened leaders are urgently needed to develop novel energy technologies. Only a mission oriented government agency can marshal the means for preparing engineering solutions and reducing investment risks. Changeover from fossil fuels to emission free, renewable energies will last decades and must begin soon. Why Kyoto and Copenhagen are DudsIn December of 2009, representatives of most countries will congregate in Copenhagen. The meeting is supposed to extend, redefine, and agree on more severe carbon emission limits. The Kyoto concept of reducing global warming is deeply flawed. It must be replaced by a new, more effective approach. Novel concepts are emerging but are not yet considered. The meeting will be a failure unless China or other Asian countries bring new ideas. 200 MPG Fish TalesMileage announcements for hybrid automobiles are escalating and are becoming meaningless. Figures above 100 MPG are being bandied about. These figures are a ruse and intended to mislead the public. Consumers have to insist to receive correct and easily understandable information. The Electric Car CrapshootElectric cars are promoted as saviors of the energy crisis. Unfortunately, they are expensive, will not reduce foreign oil imports, and will contribute to continuing, global overheating. The US needs a new, science based energy policy. Taxpayers must demand development of thermally more efficient combustion engines. Production of renewable, affordable, and storable liquid fuels must be pursued by an independent government agency.
