"electric cars", my question has always been what will be done with the 100s of millions of used batteries, battery acid?

I have read where nitrogen fueled cars may become viable in the next 50 years. I'd rather have a fuel whose byproduct is water than 'electric cars'. 50 years is not a long time.

Oil in politics? How about drug companies in politics, or Insurance companies, perhaps Agribusiness, the auto manufacturers? Even slum lords get into the act. Oil protects its interests, (like so many other industries) and I'm sure buys more than a few politicians, however, I doubt they are having much effect outside their attemps to stop what will come inevitably anyway.

The next climate change conference, with respect to those most affected, should be held at the Olympic hotel in Mogodishu, Somalia.

The airport could easily provide accommodations for Al Gores jet, as well of that of Soros, and the many other visiting dignataries. Food would be provided from local caterers, as well as security, and transportation.

It would be the ‘right thing to do’. Leaders lead by example.

So, yes I think politicians are just playing lip service on environmental issues.

The solution is simple: electric cars and improved public transportation. I don't see that happening as long as oil companies are given free reign over politics.

Remember hydrogen fuel cell cars? What ever happened to that oil company publicity stunt?

Wonder how many 'postcards' they received.

What about the European Union? They like to brag that they have a larger economy than the United States. Perhaps its time to put their money where their mouth is. Oh wait, they'll just give a token amount and then blame the United States for the failure of the entire scheme.

Sending a $100 billion dollars to developing nations? Does anyone have any faith that this money would actually be all used for its intended purpose considering all the aid sent to the developing world over the years that was wasted?

Nope. Look at the bright side, though. If they did get $100 billion, at least they would have to blow it all on Copenhagen prostitutes: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeq...
