Fortunately, I'm not the only bright and reasonably skeptical person who has
a problem with all the hype about alternative energies. This article in
Popular Mechanics lays out the real case against the promised hydrogen
economy, for one (because even our resident Presidential fanatic couldn't
resist weighing in on that one):

This article makes some of the same general points that I've said, for
instance:

"And there's the rub: Using dirty energy to make clean energy doesn't solve
the pollution problem-it just moves it around."

There's no magic pill to replace petroleum.
