You're right Ustwo. But the problem we have is Bush subsidizing fossil fuels at a factor of about 300x what he allocated towards r&d of renewables.
We need serious attention to solar and wind power. As it is we have to wait 30-50 years for solar cells to be able to be actually Printed on paper like you would a document because of nanotech. That's amazing and we should be pouring money into that instead of giving tax breaks to Exxon/Mobil.
And in the same amount of time we will be able to incorporate solar cells into our roof shingles for almost no additional cost. That virtually solves our energy problem. We can make fossil fuels a thing of the past. We just need a serious commitment.
