Nuclear energy still seems the best alternative in the Us at this point, but the greens will never agree to it.

Right now, in some places, wind power actually makes economic sense. Solar, however, is still pretty pricy, and really makes economic sense only for remote areas that cannot easily be hooked into an existing grid. Nuclear could be much more economical than it is if only there weren't so much red tape.

If the price of oil goes up more -- and I don't think it will go up that much more for a while but I could be wrong -- then people will begin to carefully evaluate alternative energy.
