Rodgers: I'm against a carbon cap. It's government meddling in the market. But if carbon cap-and-trade-happens, which all the major candidates say they support, it means you'll get penalized for putting carbon in the air and credits for either not putting it in the air or taking it out. That's a big win for solar.
Felsinger: We don't have a national energy policy, and that's been the problem. It would be a nice first step: a master plan as to where we want to go as a country.
What about green autos?
Khosla: Hydrogen is way too expensive. Hybrids will enter the premium market. But the highest-volume car in India is going to be the Tata Nano at $2,500. You can't add $10,000 worth of batteries to a $2,500 car. Today, the cheapest source of low-carbon transportation and the easiest to introduce is biofuel.
Felsinger: The options before us—hydrogen, electricity, biofuels, and natural gas—can all make a significant impact. Electricity and natural gas have the most to offer in the shortest time period.
