Gore to Speak to Congress on Global Warming
Gore is scheduled to speak before the House on March 21 on the threat of global warming. Here’s hoping he’ll be able to gain some traction on the idea of mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions.. (Bush has rejected setting limits and proposes new technologies and alternative energy sources to cut pollution.)
Do you think setting caps on these emissions is a good idea or bad (in regards to the businesses it affects)?

I think that mandatory caps on emmisions is a good incentive for new technologies for reduction of greenhouse gases but the most effective
technology on the forefront is already in hand: we should follow the example
of France and rely on a far greater portion of our electrical power being
generated by nuclear energy rather than by combustion of fossil fuels like
coal. The second generation designs of these plants by GE and Westinghouse
are even safer than the first (which never resulted in a serious accident)

Dear Mr. Gore; In the name of the Trident Energy Power Plant, I am acepting your Virgin Earth Chalange to change our environment. The Base 5,200mw power plant uses no fossil fuels or nuclear power. It uses only hydro, solar and induction heating. There is no pollution of any kind. No rivers, lakes or streams have to be dammed. This power plant can be expanded to many times its original base 5,200mw. Included in its design is a means to produce millions of gallons of hydrogen per day as fuel for our vehicles and millions of gallons of clean drinking water. The cost to build is less than half of a 200 mw nuclear power plant. Acomputer simulation of this power plant will be completed this year.

We have a FAST, EFFICIENT energy system that is 90% ready for market. This system runs off Agricultural waste, human waste, curbside waste and bio-hazardous materials. It is 100% inclosed. There are zero emissions, no odors and it is virtualy self-cleaning. The bi-product is organic fertilizer and electricity. We have already contacted the US military for use on there bases and ships. No more leaving our filth for landfill or dumping our waste in the water. Also, no more burning fuels to power these bases and ships. All self -sufficient. Want to save the Earth? How about putting your global power behind us?

If I were American, they is certain I will vote for you Mr. Gore. The Lobbies (in another measurement) are also powerful on our country. Deep the change that we all owe and applied quickly are not compatible with those which hold these capacities. However two things put in parallel can oblige to make them fold or to make them change; laws and popular mass; you will have soon the capacity of the law and we have the capacity of the mass. Let us continue the combat and open all and all the eyes so that our children did not to close them
