I just saw a post that said that natural gas is dwindling much faster than expected. Since we have dumped oil and are dumping oil and only a psycho wants nukes, we have been building natural gas fired plants as fast as we can. So in the winter what would you rather have, TV or heat?
We use what ever fuel is in vogue at the time. When gas and oil are out coal will be back in. Imagine all those Harleys and Camrays burning coalgas? The Germans did it in WWII. Ultimately, we will go for wind power, you'll see.
