Electrolysis can be powered geothermally or hydrodynamically. In my view, that is where we will end up after a lot of fits and starts.

Hydrogen will be a partial solution, along with many others. After oil runs out or is too expensive, we'll rely on a checkerboard of solutions.

Finally, don't forget that gas production is going to be peaking along with oil in the next 5 years.

Yes, I've read that in many places but some who are truly experts, like Yergin, don't think so. I don't like it because the transportation and security problems inherent in LNG are enormous.

If the Greenies don't get so nutty about nuclear power, it will be the way to go for electricity. We unfortunately had a couple of bad experiences that have unfairly colored the landscape.
