This is why we have to get crackin' on a hydrogen and fusion based energy program here in the US! Oh, the projects I saw started, then de-funded when I last worked a decent paying job at Los Alamos....it would make blood shoot out of your eyes. The talent we lost after SDI was tanked was a downright shame!
We have the know-how; we just need the socialist enviro-whackos and their lobby to get out of the way, really!
Purchases of private airliners has mushroomed in recent years, but most orders are in the category of a Learjet or Gulfstream -- small and cheap at $2 million to $5 million in comparison to the A380,
I agree that the Gulfstream looks cheap in comparison to the A380 but the price tag for a G550 fitted out is closer to $65 mil not $2 to $5 mil.

Hydrogen is a dead end unless you get some nuke plants to crack the water. Otherwise you are just pushing the pollution to one place AND making it more inefficient to boot.
Ethanol....well, ethanol is just stupid.
Fusion is a great idea, but it's a long, long way off, despite what Popular Mechanics might tell you. It's got some tremendous hurdles (containment, mostly).
But I agree that it's well worth the money to pursue. Any technology that will make the middle east, oil companies and Texans go broke is OK with me.
