I want to look into the claims made at this site because I don't know
whether to believe them or not.

A Generational Challenge to Repower America
On July 17, 2008, Al Gore gave an important speech titled, A Generational Challenge to Repower America. The central proposition is as follows, "Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years. This goal is achievable, affordable and transformative. It represents a challenge to all Americans: to our political leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and to every citizen. A few years ago, it would not have been possible to issue such a challenge. But here’s what’s changed: the sharp cost reductions now beginning to take place in solar, wind, and geothermal power, coupled with recent dramatic price increases for oil and coal."
These are great goals - ones I fully support. I would go further, by proposing that we also have more than half our national vehicle fleet running strictly on water (as fuel), within ten years. The problem is that Al Gore - like so many others in our world - is apparently not aware of the kind of information featured on this page.
For producing electricity for residential and commercial application, without using fossil fuels, the preferred near-term solutions will involve Zero Point/VPF technologies - Hydrogen-on-Demand and Cold Fusion may also apply - which, as with photovoltaics, will allow on-site energy generation; thus moving us away from ugly, expensive and dangerous grid-based solutions. However, for as long as needed, our existing grids may be used to permit these same Revolutionary Energy technologies to supply centralized power needs.
Photovoltaics and "Wind Power," while being far better than coal and natural gas, are not going to be our primary solutions - they simply cannot compete with the revolutionary technologies featured on this page. And, we cannot stop Global Warming and planetary environmental degradation, unless we convert our entire vehicle fleets to non-fossil fuel sources. "Bio-fuels" are a non-starter, meanwhile, as bio-fuels production is already causing hunger and food shortages around the planet, while bio-fuels production has scarcely begun.
So, what's the solution?
