gasoline will still be cheaper than other forms of energy.
You can’t believe how inefficient solar and wind are!

One estimate I read in the Economist said wind and solar need 4 times the capacity needed to generate the desired flow.

Then there are transmission issues, and the vast amounts of land needed for any such “solutions” to be feasible.

But since nukes and oil are so unfashionable now, the only way to go green is to have gas at 5 bucks a gallon.
