A nuclear cataclysm, on the other hand, could destroy the earth tomorrow. Somewhere within those extremes lies the life expectancy of this wondrous, swirling globe. How long it endures and the quality of life it can support do not depend alone on the immutable laws of physics. For man has reached a point...
Sometime early in the next century, solar enthusiasts hope to see vast tracts of photovoltaic collectors providing cheap electricity that can be transmitted over long distances. Alternatively, the electricity could be used to produce hydrogen from water. That could open up all sorts of possibilities. Cars, for example, could be redesigned to run on hydrogen, and that would produce a dramatic reduction in CO2 emissions...
