They may just be putting in place the first steps of a program that will have
to take place and come to completion in less than 15 years (which is short for
such a large overhaul I'd say). The worlds useful fossil fuel stocks probably
won't stretch much past 2020 if that so an alternative has to be brought on
line fairly quickly really. Given we play in a universe where all this has to
have happened over 150 years in the past its interesting to think about how it
may have happened and what ramifications the timing may have had. I've had
thoughts that this may be one of the potential spurs behind the slide in US
power in the timeline, though it doesn't exactly explain the rise of power in
other geographical areas;)

Probably. On the other hand, I was having a chat with a friend this past
weekend WRT the speed of technological advancement. We were talking about how
far we came just in the 20th Century. If backed into a corner, we may just
surprise ourselves again.

Not that this means much coming from me, since I completely ignore the
official timeline and powers (I had my own timeline in mind before I ever
bought a GZG product, so the Tuffleyverse timeline never has piqued my fancy),
but it seems that given US dependence on oil, any advancement that decreases
that dependence strengthens the US. Therefore, *IF* you're going to go with
official history, I'd suggest that you either A) have the US slip as a result
of shortages BEFORE the technology saves the day, or B) Find someo ther cause
of the US fall.

How about: Arab factions, threatened by loss of bargaining power due to
introduction of fuel cells in autos, etc., conduct a first strike with weapons
of mass destruction, causing the downfall of civilzation as we know it?!

Damn!!! Back to the drawing board.

Actually what I had in mind was that the oil lobby keeps them out until too
late and then they don't get it done in time. So by those standards these
first steps are much faster;)
