<em>One of the newest energy lobbyists claims he has the answer to climate change: spaceships.</em>

<em>The government has in its possession "extraterrestrial vehicles," lobbyist Stephen Bassett said. As in flying saucers.</em>

<em>Imagine the power source, he said, behind a 30-foot wide saucer that weighs the same as a tractor-trailer yet hurtles through galaxies at 20,000 miles per hour.</em>

<em>"What is the energy system operating that craft?" Bassett said. "They're not burning kerosene."</em>

<em>He added, "It eliminates oil. It eliminates coal. If it's as good as we think it is, it transforms everything."</em>

<em>No more ozone hole or melting polar ice caps, Bassett said. And the price of electricity would drop to almost nothing.</em>

<em>Bassett believes this. Fervently.</em>
