6. Other than a nuclear/hydrogen grid
which is years off the best option is to reroute the money. Use of b100 from domestic sources is a great option.

Grain based fuel is difficult because of the impact on food markets. However any option is better than continuing the status quo.

Almost all diesels will run blended diesel. They are a significant source of pollution and consumption.

Decommissioning coal plants and replacing them with reactors will take time. No other generation technology has the capability right now to fill the 500 - 800MW demand and leave no carbon footprint.
