It's so frustrating that anytime we talk about any new idea the same old battles have to be rehashed with a lack of perspective on the current status quo having its own set of problems. I'm pretty sure we can figure out how to make a turbine that works and harness solar & wind power efficiently and reliability. I have doubts we can convince OPEC nations to keep selling us cheap oil as their production peaks and declines in the near future. I have doubts that the existing energy cartels will ever invest serious time and resources into making carbon energy cleaner. I have serious long term doubts that we can continue to extract carbon energy sources from the Earth in the required quantities to provide energy for 6 billion+ people. I'm almost sure we can't do it in an environmentally friendly way. Doubts? Yeah lots.
