*All* aletrnative energy schemes are more expensive than fossil fuels.

This is what people just can't get their heads around... Fossil Fuels Are Unique. The ERoEI of oil, for instance can range into the 100s!!! (though it's usually pegged at around 30-50 depending upon the specific locale).

This means that no green fuel will ever compare with fossil fuels *economically*, UNTIL the day that fossil fuel depletion starts to factor on the markets (6 - 12 years for that is my estimate). But by that point it'll be too damn late to build a green energy infrastructure.

Either we do it now (and accept that we have to pay more for it than for fossil fuels), or else we ignore the issue; burn the last of our oil, gas and coal in a short-sighted display of great stupidity; and return, after many wars and famines, to a pre-industrial society.


(all in my opinion)
