Environmental Articles:

1) Hydrogen Lost?
My thought: Hydrogen cars will not be on the market in large scale production because of A) storage
of the hydrogen is very difficult (extreme PSI, cold temperature, or flammability) and B) hydrogen
production in the US today relies on 96% (Wikipedia) non-renewable energy sources and 4%
electrosis. The electrosis (although renewable) is more damaging to the atmosphere than burning
gas and costs more. An unforeseeble breakthrough is needed to make hydrogen viable, and until
then you'll see hydrogen fueling nothing more than perhaps a fleet of buses.
A much more in depth
analysis (writtern by someone else) can be found at http://www.issues.org/20.3/romm.html.

2) If not Hydrogen, Why not Electric?
Blurb: I'm excited over the future promise of electric cars driving around the United States by 2015. Forget Ford, Toyota, and GM. They have produced non-innovative cars for the past twenty years and will continue to do so until their life as companies are threatened, which they will be in five to ten short years.

3) Net Neutrality or How I Learned to Love Packet Equality!
Blurb: I don't know why people don't understand this issue. I'll explain it in one sentence: Net Neutrality ensures that Internet Service Providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc) don't decide to tierize (not to be confused with terrorize) the internet so that your packets off of your 'tier 2' 'fast 10mb line' are actually really slow (or slower at least) then the a 'tier 1' 'fast 10mb line'.
