It always surprises me that people who have to pay for everything they use think there is a quick fix to the energy problem and that we are going to get it for nothing.

First, if it was so easy, we would be doing it now.

Second, ALL resources are finite.

Third, renewable resource systems are low energy systems Not much to be gotten from them.

Even "common-sense" persons I know wail and cry about BIG OIL giving them the shaft. I always question them what they think the price of oil is. Such a joy it is to watch their face as they come to realize that a barrel of oil is cheap...and that the tax on gas is much more of an issue than a company searching, drilling, shipping and marketing a product to run the US.
