well, the other thing to consider folks is that you never get anything for free. for instance, i'll be honest and say that i'm not up on the literature on this subject, but i've always wondered what impact, if any, large scale deployment of wind farms would have on local weather conditions.
host: india and china are always the major factor on the subject of energy...as well as the environmental impact (globally) of energy production and use. of course, with multinational cooporations being so popular, the lines get a little blurry...but that's where the projected growth is, no question about it. in the absence of another primary energy source, i suspect we'll increase our use of nuclear by some percentage, and use not only the nuclear energy itself but the secondary thermal energy as well.
