re: All of these alternate energy ideas cost more.

You forgot the cost of the oil wars.

re: If you try to plan how much of these alternate energy sources you will use the amount that you plan for will almost always be wrong. If energy is supplied by a relatively free market then the supply and demand will adjust not without pain but with the minimal possible pain. That minimal possible pain might still be a lot but it will be less then the pain caused by forcing energy programs by government diktat.

Where do you get this crap? The entire economy is based on social and economic engineering. Are you living on an alternate ideological planet?

re: The amount of energy needed to produce a real dollar of GDP has been going down for some time. The amount of oil used on the average has been going down even more then the amount of energy used. (But most of that oil has been replaced by natural gas and it also has limits)

The first part is because of the service (McDonald's)economy. The second part is just plain false.

re: Incentives to build new businesses usually wind up costing jobs.

No.
