There's this long lag time, and we haven't even decided which directions to go.

    "Ecotowns and turbines are a political slap in the face of the landscape" by Simon Jenkins, www.theguardian.com. July 16, 2009.
  • Replacing half of the U.S. ground-transport fuels with hydrogen from wind power by 2050, for example, might require 1,400 gigawatts of advanced wind turbines or more... replacing those fuels with electricity might require less than 400 GW.
