That's the problem - you take fuels off the table before another is ready economically and worse you remove the option to explore in our own backyard. Drilling ANWAR, off shore, coal...

What is being taken off the table? ANWAR would not produce any oil for 10 years at best. We could make up today for what ANWAR would produce through simpler methods of conservation that would not affect your lifestyle on little bit. 55% of all electricity is produced by coal in the US...off shore drilling is opposed selectively by states, who don't want drilling in sensitive waters or near shore. Think Jeb Bush (a non liberal) threatening to sue W's government over drilling rights in his state....

My issue - this should be a US policy to promote alternatives - it is -

The fed government tax credits for a full house photovoltaic system is lame...near nothing compared to the cost of a 5KW system. As a result, mass adoption is slow, capacity hindered, and the benefits of mass production on adoption costs not realized. Where I live (a red state) the laws are equally inept at incenting its citizens. GW or not, this is a matter of national security.
