Future concern: cleaning up

Many recent posts have been spawned from the "some science fiction future" reference by Tony Blair such as this article: link. The answer, however, to solving the warming problem could be to get very aggressive about solving the efficient hydrogen production problem. This conundrum: producing hydrogen efficiently enough to use it economically, is at the crux of non-adoption of hydrogen fuels. How to solve the problem?

In Darwin's Orphans, I recommend a solution dubbed: the Brooklyn Project. As was done with the Manhattan Project, the great science minds of our age need to be put together in a room to quickly solve this problem. We did it to create the nuclear bomb. Can't we do the same thing to end the scourge of dirty fuels?

The Manhattan Project was pushed by the government to solve a problem. Perhaps with the obviously shifting political sands that are afoot, a leader to this charge will emerge. We can only hope.
