<strong>The most effective way to achieve the necessary change is by imposing fees on fossil fuel, while using the proceeds to fund rebates on local facilities that provide clean and safe energy. Nuclear power is not clean and not safe. Nuclear power plants also stand in the way of a more distributed grid and hold back the clean and safe alternatives that are needed instead, such as solar and wind power. Nuclear technology is not an option in military respects either.</strong><br />

<span style="font-size: 180%;"><strong>Transport</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Vehicles, ships and planes should be powered by electricity, instead of by fossil fuel. Surplus electricity from solar facilities and wind turbines can be stored in batteries or in the form of hydrogen. Such stored electricity can in turn be fed into the grid to help out at times of peak demand. This shift can be most effectively achieved by imposing tailored feebates, such as fees on the sales of gasoline cars, with the proceeds used to fund rebates on sales of electric cars or on conversions to electric cars.</strong><br />
