There is not enough hydroelectric ability to run cars, airports, college campuses, neighborhoods, commuter trains, hospitals, government offices, businesses, etc. Right? You don't disagree with that, do you? In fact, if you add solar power and windmills, you still don't generate enough energy for those uses without fossil fuels. How much bulk do you have to consume maintaining a 2,000 house at 68 degrees with a pellet stove? Tons and tons and tons. This is all lovely conjecture but the fact remains that fossil fuels are still integral to powering the human race and will be for the next 100 years. I'm all for solar, wind and geo thermal energy...great stuff. But I harbor no illusions about how little a dent they actually make in the grand scheme of things.
