So the world is coming to an end? I simply do not believe it.

i only want to get in here for a microsecond to say when solar cells are about 30% efficient and easily manufacturable, you will see a dramatic reduction in fossil fuel use for transportation in anything but the heaviest load bearing trucks and offroad industrial vehicles. Humans are learning machines, and they will solve the solid state solar cell problem for electrical generation. however we are many, many solar cell generations away from 30%. what we are doing today with solar cells today is crap. these nutty government politicians and electropoliticians are putting inefficient stuff, that should stay in the lab, in production that wastes perfectly good capital(in subsidies) that should be used for R&D to learn and discover the material science and other sciences to get the efficiency higher faster. i am not a wind and solar guy, but i thought i should interject that things will happen that will allow us to have plenty of oil and ng far, far into the future. what we waste today in burning oil and ng can be substituted in the future, and we can use fossil fuels for creating other compounds that we need far more than burning the stuff. jmho.
