You build a windmill for yourself. Oil is no longer a requirement for electrical power and is practically phased out.(although, many plant can use it, they don't!) Every plant I have been to uses natural gas. We are loaded with it!

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.

I suggest you read up on the evidence that the supplies of natural gas are more than abundant. The supply/demand equasion was caught off guard by a sudden increase in demand due to ecological regulation and a lack of nuclear plants. They have allready caught up and will find much more if needed. The data is there! Read it.

Count me in on the miriad of crazy nuke lovers. The waste problem can be solved if the whiners will get the heck out of the way.

We turn the coal into synthetic oil(just like S Africa). Expensive now, but remember the economies of scale.
