KTC,
I would agree that a competitive and inexpensive source of energy is or would be a good thing.
WINDmills ain't one of them
WE have more COAL than we could ever possibly use for a thousand years available to us and I am confident that perhaps science can harness the electron, pron and neutron ions to generate power for turbines that in turn generate electric inexpensively.
RIGHT now there are not any alternative energy sources that can compete with fossil fuels on an economic scale, UNLESS someone drives up the price of gas to record high levels never seen before so they can try to make a case to use these high cost toys that nobody wants except a few.
I am in favor of developing alternatives that can provide low cost energy for every American citizen, aren't you?
