Running for Office on Climate Change?

Hydrogen edges closer to mainstream

The parameters of this situation can be applied in thousands of places in the US, but aren’t. For lack of government incentives in key areas of the projects ranging from PUC buyback of the gas or the electricity, cross industry cooperation, enlightened tax structures, implementation of protective fiscal measures and once enunciated you are left with a real climate change program, from production of biogas and fertilizer from natural resources to clean alternate fuels, energy independent farms and small towns. Throwing in clean incentives could finally bring the hydrogen revolution to specific decentralized and locally owned production facilities.

Looking ahead, the holy grail of clean energy in transportation is hydrogen. The cars and trucks exist, the technology to produce the gas is well understood and it has been around for a century. Right now you can literally put in an order for an electric car charging station with hydrogen dispensing “service” station and it would mostly displace fossil fuel units; the other holy grail of the climate change campaign. If the shift to hydrogen seems far off, remember the shift away from the whale. In order to light our cities we used whale blubber and that was then, when consumption of energy was mostly for lighting.

Amazing as it may appear, we are not running out of fossil fuels and we do not need to replace them from a purely availability standpoint, we need to replace them for our own survival and none of the aspiring candidates have come up with concrete proposals except buy Tesla, stop coal, eliminate fracking or even install PV panels.

But just because you are running on a climate change platform should in no way deter the candidate from seeking and promoting projects and investments that can affect the climate in a peripheral manner. What about championing national WIFI coverage for all citizens on a national basis using the platform to enhance farming, increase crop yields, and nationalize campaigns to enhance data transitions as part of bringing rural communities education, opportunities for development.
