Communitization of the Power Houses is a nice idea and definitely looks like the Go-to way. And if We go a step further democracy lane then electron democracy can be at the individual home basis as well. I always had an idea of a energy self suff...—Chandrika Rathee

Natural is already here. If the government is going to collect the tax then let them give tax credits to fund the equipment to dispense the natural gas. There would be no carbon foot print. H2O will not and can not harm anyone. We have enough gas to provide at present use for 350 years. As fast as technology is moving that most likely will not even be necessary.
The product is tested and has been used since the mid 70’s. What do we need to understand. Second choice would be salt water. We would never run out of that.
