Like what? Solar and wind power that have been around since the 80's with no advances?
Oil must now be considered as a short-term solution
Why?
By the way, the Repubs got a bill through congress in 95 and Clinton vetoed it. Dems have blocked drilling ever since.
Why is it that liberals in government demand the dreaded private sector to bail them out of a mess that the government created by implementing counterproductive bans, punitive regulations and taxes?
The private sector will do much better than the public, but FGS keep the government out of it, or no one will touch it!
LOL That’s not meant to you, it’s just a non sequitur.
Try to be a little more forward thinking than that. There are technologies such as coal-gasification that can be flushed out so that it is clean burning and less expensive to produce. Also, some interesting work being done to convert and burn garbage into a renewable energy source, however, the methane by-product, at present, remains an issue. In addition, there has been some work done exploring the use of salt water as an energy source, but we still need further research and development to determine how viable it might be.
And, there could be other energy sources that we have yet to discover or develop. The Enterprise (on Star Trek) got around on dilithium crystals - maybe someone will develop that into an alternative source of energy in OUR lifetime. We have to discover it eventually or else Scotty, Bones, Uhuru, Mr. Chekov, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are going to end up as day laborers at a Home Depot in a galaxy near you!! :-)
