Tar sands and oil shales have a lot of potential but some problems, but they make more sense as the price of oil goes up. The main problem is that it is much harder to extract oil from these sources then from conventional oil fields. Geothermal energy can and probably will expand but its unlikely to produce any where near as much energy for our use as the oil we now burn. Solar will probably be a minor contributor but its use will grow. Tidal power is a mostly untapped resource. Then there are exotic ideas like fusion and solar power satellites. Eventually I think we will get energy from exotic sources, perhaps even ones that haven't been thought of yet but you can't count on them. While you are not an expert on alternative fuels [to oil] nor, by your own admission, are you psychic, the fact that you are all over the board in terms of possible solutions accurately reflects our current energy policy. That is why I am worried and want us to get on the ball asap. ted
