What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Large amount of any chemical pufiried, concentrated, and spilled in one place is a disaster
Improper utilization of any energy storage media - wood, electricity, even gyro-storage - is dangerous and produces hazardous waste
It's all about being technological and playing fair. There is nothing that switch from one energy storage to another would accomplish in terms of environmental safety.
I love NH3 idea, it's IMO 3rd best solution. Second best is alcohol. First best is making your energy locally with whatever you have and not wasting it for stupid things.
But all this will be easily messed up by reckless greedy maniacs that have most of the power in the world right now.
