Sacramento, Calif., for example, is dryer than North Africa, but the Sacramento River, on whose banks it sits, spread 30 miles (50 km) wide during the wettest California winter on record, in 1862, before dams and levees tamed the river. Dams produce more clean energy than nuclear reactors. Irrigation agriculture, largely dependent on reservoirs, grows 40% of the world's food on a much smaller fraction of its farmland...

We must help them adopt clean-energy technologies that offer both prosperity and a healthy environment. On my visit last month to India, the government there took a major step in that direction: by 2012, it declared, at least 1 of every 10 new kilowatts of power will come from renewable energy...
Fuel cells were invented in the 1800s and adopted by NASA for generating clean power in space in the 1960s. Only in the past decade have they been made small enough to fit inside a car. The NECAR4, based on a Mercedes-Benz A-class compact sedan, accommodates five people plus luggage, reaches speeds of 90 m.p.h. (145 km/h) and goes about 280 miles (450 km) between fill-ups. "It's comparable," says Ferdinand Panik, head of DaimlerChrysler's Fuel Cell Project, "to the impact the microchip had on computer technology...
