ZenWarrior,

geothermal has been subsidized... it is a *much* cheaper alternative to traditional coal and natural gas power plants.

Why has California closed nearly ten Geo plants in the last ten years due to lack of steam? Seems it's much harder than originally expected to actually make them work.

Solar technology is expected to be some 10x more efficient than it is today...

Solar power has been a future technology for as long as I can remember...

Drives me nuts...

What drives me nuts is that you can say with a straight face that these alternative energy sources are cheaper than oil or gas fired plants and then claim energy producers are only interested in making money. Don't you see the hypocrisy of such a claim - if they (energy producers) were only interested in money they'd be all over those "cheaper" production methods today.
