President George W. Bush should have been president a half century ago; then at least his vision for the future would have been in the future and not in the past. He proclaimed last year his desire to send a man to the moon. Yeah, that's wonderful but it's already been done. Now he has declared, "A secure energy future for America must include more nuclear power." America got leery on nuclear power after the Three Mile Island disaster and the former USSR's Chernobyl only reinforced the problems with nuclear power. Add the tempting target nuclear power plants make for terrorists and the danger in disposing of nuclear waste and nuclear power isn't as inviting a solution as one might think...

Bush also thinks clean diesel fuel is an answer, it isn't and neither is hybrid vehicles that use partial gasoline. The only reason Bush wants hybrid vehicles and clean diesel fuel pushed is so his contributors the big oil companies still have a product in the near future. I on the other hand want to see the oil companies as a thing of the past. Bush once mentioned hydrogen powered vehicles but like most things he mentions, they are mentioned only so he can go on record as for something even though he never plans to mention it again. Bush thinks backwards not forward, he is a man of limited vision and seems more concerned on the future of big oil companies than of the country he was elected to lead...

Hydrogen is the answer to America's future and unless Bush wakes up and promotes it more enthusiastically America will be left behind by Japan and other countries of vision. Hydrogen powered cars are the future, hybrid vehicles are pushed by oil companies so they still sell some of the needed fuel. Hydrogen is the future but hydrogen needs to have an infrastructure in place. In most of the country there is no corner hydrogen station, the government needs to encourage companies to build a hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen can be created clean but can also be made through nuclear and coal until clean producing plants are perfected. So to get hydrogen going it would help the coal producers and in effect help the economy. The sooner America gets hydrogen run cars on the street, the sooner America can tell OPEC, "We don't need your stinking oil!" Sure, we will still use some in plastics and other items but when you cut out the vehicle use, it would be minor...

It's a good thing the oil companies aren't in the hay business or President Bush's vision for America's energy needs would have been going back to the horse and buggy...
