I say:
Use nuclear for power plants.
Develop electric cars that perform at the speed/power of today's gas-powered cars.
Problem solved.

I was thinking earlier that it might be possible to develop magnetic induction drives on major highways. A cable embedded in the lane would pulse an electromagnetic field at the speed of the roadway, and cars would have an electomagnet in the chassis to follow the field. They could use normal power to enter the lane, accellerate, and brake, but otherwise tool along at a set speed. A chip in the car would identify it to the road, and the owner of the road would send a monthy invoice based on the number of miles travelled on the system. The advantage would be that battery power, historically the limitation on electric cars, would not be required for high speed, long distance travel.
We need to merge this thread with the polar bear one.
What we should do is hunt the polar bear into extinction, thus sparing it from drowning and starvation, then when the seal population explodes from lack of predatory pressure, we can drill for oil in the heads of baby seals!
Baby seals = renewable energy source--PROBLEM SOLVED!
"... whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their acts." - Lysander Spooner
I don't see how they can claim this when we haven't even begun to explore the ruso-asian tundra, the Sahara, or the Oceans.
