[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1039789, member: 12570"] Let's limit our conversation to the US on this subject. Look at our progression as a nation. We have always used whatever natural resources have been available to us. Wood was the primary source of heat for our first settlers. Steam generated from burning wood (and later coal) was used to power our trains and barges. The discovery of electricity provided yet another fuel source. Petroleum products reduced our dependence on wood and steam. Solar/wind/hydrogen/natural gas will reduce our dependence on petroleum products and fossil fuels. Will we ever be fossil fuel free? Yes, but not in our lifetime. [/QUOTE]
