Again. I don't think its a situation where a city needs to be right on top of it. As with solar, wind, nuclear, oil and coal I *think* it can be located in different areas and still power regions quite a ways away.

The greater point is we're already moving in the direction of cleaner sources of energy. These new sources will have problems of their own but technology is advancing for a better future and thats good. Look at fluorescent lighting. It uses a lot less energy but it comes with some drawbacks. Those lights are charged with mercury - a serious toxin. It's not a perfect fix but its an improvement.

Amery Lovins has a very energy efficient house. I don't think this is suited for the mass market.

Maybe we should all move to Iceland so we can feel better?

Now, you don't have to be that limiting in geographic selection. In WA state, you could move to St. Helens, or Solduc Hot Springs. In Wyoming you have Yellowstone. I'm sure there are other places as well.
