[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4687082, member: 63706"] That striving has been going on for a very long time. Old solar panels, new solar farms, decommissioned wind farms, are all ecological disasters, not nearly as renewable as advertised. Hydro-power is pretty good, if you have rivers for it, but then there's the issue of fish spawning beds, so the progressives keep tearing dams out, which is also hurting the availability of drinkable, fresh water, d'oh! Ethanol has 30% less energy density than gas, so you have to burn more of that E10 to get the same miles. And the amount of arable land needed to grow the feedstock for ethanol production is a major limiter. Let's see, then there's algae. Dead end. Wave energy? Salt water and barnacles make maintenance too costly. About the only alternative energy source to petrol that looks to have a future at this point is next gen nuclear, but people are too scared of that. Maybe cold fusion will finally get all the kinks worked out. [/QUOTE]
