For the record, for over a decade there have been many organizations saying we've needed a whole electrical overhaul and that if we didn't do so, we'd have a blackout. So Bush is hardly the cause of it.
The problem with the "alternative" energy is that right now all of it is extremely unreliable and not very efficient compared to nuclear, hydroelectric, etc.
Solar has come a long way, but it is not enough right now.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
