...analyses of energy policy yet produced. Lovins, who has been preaching the need for fuel efficiency for some 30 years, thinks big. His aim is to promote a set of policies that over the next two decades would save half the oil the U.S. uses, before moving to a hydrogen-based economy that dispenses with oil altogether (save for possible use as a fuel to produce hydrogen.) If that seems hopelessly Utopian, Lovins reminds us that we have done something very like it before. Spurred by the oil price shocks of the 1970s, the U.S. between 1977 and 1985 increased...
...particles it radiates make up 99% of all the matter in the solar system, earthlings have never been able to grab hold of much of that so-called solar wind, beyond a tiny bit collected by several of the Apollo missions. Earth's magnetic field causes the stream of hydrogen, helium and other elements the sun gives off to flow around our world like river water around a rock...
While the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s claim to fame is arguably as the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, Sakharov later gained notoriety for his political dissidence against communism...
...solar system's gas giants, Saturn is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium and has a volume 764 times as great as Earth's. That much gas concentrated in one place ought to be dynamic, and Saturn is. Winds blow at more than 1,100 m.p.h. at the equator-the strongest gusts on any planet in the solar system-and helium rain is thought to fall out of the clouds. Temperatures at the cloud tops are a frigid -218ºF...
...hydrocarbon era before we get to 2100. We'll phase in other forms of energy by 2050. We've got to use hydrogen someplace in there. For the short term, we've got to use more of our coal reserves in the U.S., and I would suppose we'll go back to looking seriously at nuclear...
