| The solution has been here for 30 years. But the power companies are too comfy to do anything about it.
Build more nuclear power plants (preferably using fuel beads rather than rods, so a meltdown becomes an impossibility), build a hydrogen plant next to each new nuclear plant and get the damn oil companies to start putting hydrogen infrastructure in their stations NOW. I read an article on /. about a year ago about this invention that would allow about twice the hydrogen to be stored with the same amount of volume thanks to some sort of nanoscale lattice that compresses its molecular structure. That solves just about the only problem with hydrogen fueled cars. And we've had car engines that run on hydrogen since the 60s.
