TBH, I'd have had more respect for Gordo if he'd put a couple of billion less into a fund for the third world, and instead put the balance to help fund the research into Nuclear Fusion being carried out in the UK. IMHO, all the other technologies being pushed on the worlds public are merely sticking plasters on an arterial bleeder.
If politicians where really sincere about wanting to tackle the human infulence on climate change, we'd be having a new Manhattan Program for Nuclear Fusion.... The fact that this is not on the cards means that we are screwed....

Personally, I think solar energy is the way to go. The sun is an (almost) endless supply of energy, that is more than sufficient to cater to the energy needs of the planet. A couple of solar panels on your roof won't do the job though.
I read in New Scientist a while ago about plans to harvest solar energy in space and then beam it back down to earth. Apparently, it was feasible, but not cost effective (yet). And if I recall correctly, it could potentially generate massive amounts of energy.
