Could it be that we need to get off of oil? How about solar, wind, and hydro? How about we stop destroying the land and use renewable energy??

It's one thing to suggest or rationalize a change in energy, but to punish the masses through your forced beliefs is a symbol of a monarchy, not a free society.

SPC Kevin Ford - works on small scale, you are not a metropolis. I have a close friend who is an engineer for Georgia Power. He integrated the solar farm at Fort Bennington and Fort Gordon into the Georgia power grid. The solar out put is variable and with out plant Vogal nuclear plant and Storm Thurmond dam it would not work well.

SrA John Monette - I suggest you watch California with brown outs, black outs etc as it struggle to meet demand. If the power runs low in cities it will be diverted from rural areas.

LTC David Brown - I have no doubt that solar (at least as the technology currently stands) cannot be the sole source of power. We might eventually get there, but we are not there yet.
Having said that, the more we transition to alternative sources of fuel, the more R&D will be put into improving those technologies. Today we are wasting a lot of those R&D efforts on dead end fossil fuels. Not completely a waste of course, but more a stop gap effort.

In the Pacific Ocean there is an Island twice the size of Texas. It is made up of plastics. I wonder where that came from?
