Because of your writing on the stock market boards I know you are very informed regarding energy and such things as "Clouds"----I am still intrigued with the Clouds in computing. (that was an aside)

Certainly we need to balance our energy resources and use a variety of methods and modes.

A couple of things that come to mind on the energy-----in Virginia we are already getting some percentage of our electrical power generated by wind farms as well as Nuclear and natural gas. Even there, there are many questions to be asked------i.e. will wind farms hold up in tornadoes such as Suffok Virginia experienced in the last few hours

Another which came to my attention recently----a Virginia friend who still farms, built a house and is heating and cooling it with "geothermal". This doesn't work in all locations. It depends on the lay of the land.

With Obama's campaign, I noticed in the beginning he was talking about coal liquefication(gasification) and then suddenly the subject seem to disappear. This is a subject he should revisit.
