Florida governor race: Bud Chiles out, Rick Scott's No. 2 is Navy vet
Lawton "Bud" Chiles is dropping out of the Florida governor's race, saying Wednesday that he recognizes he doesn't have enough resources to win the race. Chiles told The Associated Press he will support Democratic nominee Alex Sink, whom he had lunch with this week to talk about the campaign. He planned a press conference with her Thursday.

Solar Power Questions:
Energy Questions?
I have a homework assignment due and I'm not sure how to do this so please help me with some questions regarding energy and its alternatives.
If we were to run out of gasoline, what would be the next most beneficial renewable source of energy? Solar panels, windmills, hydro-power etc.
How will this benefit global warming? Or will it affect it at all?
How would it effect our economy? Would it help us financially or be even worse than it is now?
How long will this technology take to create before gasoline runs out in America?
Thanks.
Okay you got one good one. I'll give you more of an outline for some with pro's and cons
Solar Panels
Pro-Cheap energy
Con- Not above 20% efficiency yet
-not every where is sunny
Wind
Pro-Cheap energy
Con- Can't handle turbulence
-wind isn't always 100% consistent
Hydro
Pro-Easy to harness
Con- damage to enviorment
Fission
Pro- Earth has a good amount of radioactive elements
Con- Radioactivity
Fusion
Pro- Massive energy boost and cheep
Con- Hard to contain the reaction
So there is a quick pro con sheet. Now the Economy is another issue. Oil is still an abundant issue but due to environmental issues and not very efferent engines oil hasn't reached it's full potential. Now these will cause damage in some form and easy is quite easy to see. There economic advantage is cheep energy which makes things cheaper over all in the long run. Although short run switching over is very expensive and some of them require skilled works so it will hurt the economy for awhile.
The Tech on the other hand is already here. We just can't agree and everyone is too picky on every little issue. Now gas in America will not run out for 300 years and coal will last for a mellinia. That is only if we start since we have ton's of reserves all over the country. It's just that we have EPA and NIMBE preventing that for ligitiment reasons. So it's now up to the government and the masses of people taking the steps necessary to make the choice on things. For things will become much worse in the mid part of the century has more nations have developed and require the source.
