If we don’t act, CO2 emissions will soar
Why is it so important to Build Baby Build? Because if we don’t develop new sources of energy now, the use of enrivonmentally-dangerous oil, gas, and coal will soar. Over the next 20 years, the use of coal will more than double according to the International Energy Agency. The use of gas and oil will continue to rise steadily as well.
If gas, coal, and oil use continues to rise, it will cause serious damage to our environment. The same document from the IEA projects a surge in CO2 emissions that would cause serious and lasting harm to our climate:
We have a responsibility to our planet to find a better way. Fortunately, a better way already exists. It’s not too late to build a next-generation renewable energy system. Let’s start with wind turbines in communities across the country. And let’s keep building until our CO2 emissions are plummeting.

There is general consensus that off-shore wind is still 10 years away. And large open tracts of land with good wind are 100’s of miles from major loads requiring significant investment in tranmission lines, thus adding to the cost of development. If we want to make an impact today, we have to re-think the way energy is produced. Rather than a few large plants supplying power for cities and towns, we need a ‘renewable energy internet’ or distributed network of community-scale projects that produce enough power to take a portion of the load in small towns. 5-10MW x 1,000 facilities will start to make a difference.
The key is active, pro-active, community involvement. People in towns need to go to town meetings and support development proposals if we are going to stablize or reverse the CO2 trend.
Most important is the fact that nature is already choking on the EXCESS CO2.
Trees and oceans nowadays only take care of 54% of all CO2 produced. In terms of real numbers: AFTER taking care of 54% of CO2, in the US alone this leaves us with an EXCESS of 16.1 billion pounds of CO2 PER DAY.
Oceans are dying due to the acidification caused by the excess CO2.
Plug-in Hybrid cars are our best chance to reduce CO2. In the light of the above data it is highly distressing that the (especially US, specifically GM) automobile industry literally keeps refusing to build Plug-ins. They delay, and delay! For quoted references and more details, see our web-site, http://www.ElToroEXPOSED.com
We have EV engineers telling us that GM’s VOLT is built to fail. Why else would GM, after getting billions of our tax $$, put building the small motor for the VOLT on hold?
As we see it: They work hard on delaying plug-ins, so that they can shove the (at this time highly CO2 polluting) hydrogen car down our throats. You can see TV commercials with plug-in cars in it, but show me one you can buy right now. Remember GM’s EV-1, discontinued and crushed, despite automobile magazines praising it as an automotive miracle. Watch “Who killed the Electric Car?”, a SONY production, and be amazed.
IAAM showed that, giving buyers of plug-in cars additional incentives to install PV systems to make their own electricity, this would be the fastest way to reduce CO2 production.
With the hydrogen car you will have no choice to produce your own fuel, hydrogen, and will always have to come back to “gas” stations for – obviously – overpriced fuel.
On the other hand, for a plug-in car you need only $ 3.00 electricity (or $ 2.50 electricity if you have your own solar system) per 100 miles.

None of this is true.
You must look up the facts about it.
