Since we are way OT with this energy thing here is my take;

Solar; Not ready for effective use on a large scale basis

Biggest problems;
Ethenol-you do not put corn in your gas tank a total misuse of a food source.
Nat gas,should not be used for power plants as we do now big waste of our best recourse.Think uranium and coal (we are the "Opec" of coal)
First step;
Wind farms,we have the Saudi Arabia of wind in the texas SD ND channel,use this combined with uranium and clean coal for power plants.This will free up Nat gas for cars and make us much more independant of Opec.Of course this will not happen and thats why I am long drillers,gold,E+P's and Nat gas and know that gas at the pump @ $3.00 will be "the good old days" soon !
