      Regarding infrastructure etc., for alternatives: folks, you must first get a handle on the fact that when we burn coal and natural gas (or any of the other natural hydrocarbons that are even further processed such as oil sands, tar sand, shale, etc. -stupid, stupid, stupid - to then burn) - we throw away 70% of the energy. So to replace with wind or solar for instance we need to capture on 30% of the energy for a match. That requres 1/3 the infrastructure.

      On the consumption side say transportation, where we again throw away 70% of the energy, we again need only 30% of the energy solution and its infrastructure - like 1/3 the fueling stations; or beefing up the electric infrastructure 50% and do nothing but electric trains, trolleys, and hybrids.

      So artificially bump the cost of energy source (policy, taxes, embargos, geopolitical stuff) while we have the irreplaceable and the use of energy will be examined thoroughly and decent solutions (alternatives) will be provided.

      FURTHERMORE -

      .*. Hydro, wood, coal, biofuels and solar and were not priced in you work-up. Animal power, "ancient" farm windmills and tidal are also missing.

      I'm not sure putting conservation on the source side is valid.

      And further, you just proved that we should tax energy as Europe, et.al.. has to drive the US to conserve, electric trains, small cars, electrric delivery vans, scooters, much insulation, district heating; and co-generation, more hydro, more nuclear, more wind, more solar; and less drill, drill, drill and less dig, dig, dig.

      Bottom line - create change thru taxation, not stupid policy, lobbiests, selfishness and graft.

      And furthermore, taxation or lack of it (tax breaks, subsidies, R&D credits, depletion allowances, etc.,) is exactly how we favor oil, gas, coal, nuc, hydro, biofuels, etc., and we are refusing to do the same for wind and solar which are the only two really free energy, renewable, forever energy sources in the list.

      Problem is: policy setters are controlled by their selfish needs, lobbiests, and whomever is paying the lobbiests; THEY ARE NOT REAL LEADERS!!!

      Come on "BADDER FASTER"!!!

      If we do that (which at this point either or both parties may be able to do eqully well), and IF we then get some real LEADERSHIP, we eventually could see "BETTER SOONER" - but that won't happen the way things are going today; BADDER is guaranteed. And BADDER FASTER may be better - so vote Dem; because voting Rep is only going to be the "promise" of better with drill, drill, drill which is not the correct answer once past your nose' it is just more BADDER.

      Actually, we do not get to select who we would like to vote for!!!!!!!! Open your eyes.

      What may be true is we get what we deserve.

      And in DC, it's real LEADERSHIP that's missing .....whether creating POLICY or ROADBLOCKS, which are one in the same, in DC.

      I should have said Boone's idea and plan is not superior; it's the LEADER that makes the difference. For instance: Hitler, .......,

      Farehnder - get real - this is and has been a 40 year problem; both sides of Govt; and all sides involved, including the selfish consumer and selfish Detroit to Houston.

      The policy we've had of burning other peoples oil/gas and less of our own, was and is good policy.

      We failed on policy/action to eliminate the use of both of the above.

      Here, our policy was/is to satisfy an itch (for all involved) with the love for the ICE (SUV's included) and WAIT till the consumer was/is fed up with high priced energy - which we're approaching, for some.

      AND THEN, WE'RE GOING TO DRILL, DRILL, DRILL MORE OF THE SAME TO SATISFY THAT ITCH, INSTEAD OF ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR IT - NOW THAT IS DUMB.

      BUT, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. OR WAS IT STUPID DOES AS STUPID IS?
