Dec 31 2012: I agree with what some of Lejan said, but Natural Gas can also be created by bacteria released into coal reserves as I heard from a TED talk here. Nuclear can also be done to use the other 97% of nuclear material with enough research.
One talk that I believe should be mentioned here is Amory Lovins 40 Year plan for Energy. Amory advocates soft energy paths like solar and wind renewables. My company (www.insiterenewables.com) manufactures new solar panels to take advantage of on site renewable energy sources in windows and garage doors with photovoltaic window shades, shutters, and louvered solar panels. The production of energy near where its used like a home or office, reduces energy lost in transmission from a central power plant to a customer. It can also reduce the peak load on the grid during peak hours of usage during hot parts of the day (photovoltaic output correlates with A/C Demand)
Amory also has plans for a hypercar that would be super efficient, The Aptera Car was a streamlined hybrid that was able to get 300mpg. Tesla motors is also working with its sister company Solar city to install Solar Powered electric vehicle stations around the US.
Nov 2 2011: Science. Real science and electronics. Those seem to be two things every school is afraid to teach because of law suits. You have no bunsen burners, no hydrogen explosions, no sparks, no electricity, no robots, no wonder kids don't care about school, school doesn't care about them.
