Nor can the transition take only ten years. Even if we had the plans for the perfect energy source in hand today, it would take decades to accomplish the transition. Joe Gwinn |

OT - Al Gore's Doomsday Clock
Every time I turn around the Environmental extremists have missed the facts
and chosen wrongly. They are years behind the ball and have no idea valid in the proper time. They are never willing to provide answers just demands. They are never willing to live under the extreme lifestyles they demand. They cost our lives with stupid things like 5 MPH bumpers to drop weight. They continue to chant change - but don't provide a solution that is possible. Martin Martin H.

I'm sure he would have tried Probably true, but you have to acknowledge that some folks are just better than others. When it comes to messing things up Bush has shown to have no peer. It's very unlikely that any of the other potential presidents could have done a better, more thorough job of bungling. Could Gore have matched Bush? No way. He just doesn't have that kind of talent.

Well, I wasn't worrying about this kind of stuff at all. We already have a system of energy sources, built out to the scale needed to power Civilization. Physical replacement of those existing systems would take many decades, more likely a century. Joe Gwinn |

Then it could be done faster than you would believe. It only took a year to build the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's all a matter of how desperate you are to make the changes. We ain't desperate enough yet. Hawke |

We ain't desperate enough yet. Golden Gate Bridge - Just over four years. Construction commenced on January 5, 1933 and the Bridge was open to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937. Empire State Building - The building was actually completed ahead of schedule, taking only one year and 45 days to build. both have ample metal to almost be on topic.
