    Re: Why Alternative Energy

    Has anybody read the books by Michael Klare?

    The Resource Wars
    Rising Powers, Shrinkin Planets
    The Race For What's Left

    I happened upon them the other day at Barnes & Noble and they sounded interesting. Not sure how much they have to do with Alternative Energy but they do seem to hit on the bleak and deadly situation as it pertains the remaining natural resources we have.
    COMING SOON...

    I was thinking the exact same thing. I can't remember the source(s), but from what I have read nuclear is not a panache for our insatiable thirst for energy as uranium reserves, in terms of energy density, are even less plentiful than fossil fuels.

    Me too, if for no other reason than their Luntzian ad campaign.

    They were like, "How can we frame the word coal that will make it sound less filthy?"

    "Clean coal!"

    They just added the word clean and now people are like, I love coal, it's clean!

    we just need someone to invent the Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future II. Then we can fuel our flying cars with banana peels and beer cans, and all will be right with the world.
