snip Researchers from Stanford University and the University of California-Davis published their analysis in the journal Energy Policy. Measuring costs vs benefits The main challenges, say the authors, will be summoning the global will to make the conversion. "There are no technological or economic barriers to converting the entire world to clean, renewable energy sources," said author Mark Jacobson, a Stanford professor, saying it is only a question of "whether we have the societal and political will."

In 2001 the newly elected Bush administration sought to nullify California's CAFE standards (so much for Republican support for state's rights) which were nothing more than on target for complying with Bush the elder's legislation. While Detroit was whining "its too hard, we can't" Japan was doing it. We all know what happened after that - Japan ate our lunch, again, and Detroit ended up on life support. Pixie dust to some, a challenge to be met for others.
That doesn't make sense... because......the CAFE standards are "HIGHER" in California (you live there.. right) than in any other part of the country. So if Detroit was whining "Its too hard, we can't" then Detroit slit its own throat.. (or should I say the unions slit their own throat)...... not Bush.... When you're paying somebody close to 6 figures a year to put screws in a dashboard then you are slitting your own throat!!!!!
That's exactly right, they slit their own throats; I don't think unions held the knife though. California sued.
If you can't compete with you opponents then you go down.... right.... They held the knives themselves and had the nerve to whine about it.... I've seen up close the end result of the auto unions, Detroit is a slum and all of the auto plants in Dayton are gone.... That's a lot of people who are "NO LONGER EMPLOYEED" and some of them "NO LONGER HAVE PENSIONS" (some are my friends). Auto Unions aren't about the "WORKER" anymore, its all about the Union bosses and their leash holders the Dumbassocrats....... I've seen it I know....
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." -- Mark Twain Do you know what a schema is? That's how you see what you think you know. As long as you continue to blame unions for management decisions and mistakes there is no way problems can be solved.

Yes I blame "some" of the unions for "some" of the stupid decisions "their" management made. Like I said before paying some nimrod almost 6 figures to put screws in a dash isn't smart, you just priced yourself out of the game.... consequently, "American Brand" vehicle production dropped way down in this country....... There used to be "Auto" plants here in Ohio, where are they now???? not here (consequently population is way down)..... Detroits population used to be over 2 million now its less than 750,000.... why????? the auto plants are gone.... If the union management isn't stupid then WTF are they exactly??? It sure isn't smart!!!! So is it smart to give the Dumbassocrats all of their employees union dues and some of their pensions to help get them elected...... Sure doesn't look that way where are all of the "workers".... laid off.... retired with no pension..... or working for a non-union company...... Oh by the way you forget I work for a "private union" so yes I do have some perspective.......

He's right, we have no technological or economic barriers to blocking our friends from Planet X-49 from coming down and presenting us with magical interstellar pixie dust power.
