I have no idea what to make of your bizarre reply.

What is a straw man about the simple statement that using current technology (20% efficient PV) we could replace 100% of our imported oil energy with solar? This is a simple statement of fact.

It should be very obvious that replacing the equivalent energy source does not also replace the consumption side, and it costs $ to switch the consumption side as well (and time).

All I'm trying to point out is that a very fundamental change, such as getting us off of imported energy, is possible, and on the same $ amount as the financial crisis has cost (much less than the lost wealth BTW caused by the crisis) but that IMO, it would be difficult to do this without extraordinary effort in a time span useful for helping to solve the current crisis. Thats all.
