Actually Hawk I agree with you on some things.

Along with you and Bob I agree that we need to diversify our energy base because eventually we will run out of economical carbon based fuels. What distresses me is this country just pissing away it's valuable carbon based fuel stock out the tailpipe or up the smokestack. Once it's gone.. it's gone! (I'm leaving out biofuels just because they are so inefficient)

Considering that roughly half our electricity generation comes from coal and the fact that we are burning through it at ever faster rates (especially in China) this game will not last too much longer and we had better get serious and start to work on other ideas to generate electricity.

The ICE has had a good run and the 20th century will go down as the ICE century. By the end of this century that will not be true, far from it. JMHO
