I have no problem with alternatives...as long as they are not subsidized. They should compete for their business with fossil fuels. Just like Ford competes with General Motor..errr...Chrysler...errrr...make that Toyota.
There isn't anything that is as efficient as fossil fuels and as long as they are inexpensive and plentiful, they should be developed and used...damn, I haven't heard the words peak and oil together for a long, long time.
I just wish all those who are big on these products would be willing to pay the full ticket. Why should I be happy to pay more for electricity? Why should I be happy to see energy intensive business move to places that have lower energy costs? Be the move foreign or domestic. Hmmm...getting the folks who will be losing their jobs to pay for it...nice.
