[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3368966, member: 5800"] This leads to another interesting point of view about the subject. Let's say peak oil is now 2040 (I'm guessing) but we can extend it to 2080, or even 2200. It doesn't matter --- it's still going to happen at some point right. Wouldn't it be better for all of out futures, or our children's futures to be prepared in advance for it? Even from a pure national security point of view, how much better would we be position strategically on the world stage if we lead renewables and got totally off fossil fuels? We'd be sitting on the largest strategic stockpile of fossil fuels, could let everyone else run out and then have a monopoly on setting prices. In the short term nothing OPEC, Russia or the like could really have influence on us by adjusting prices. There are lots of benefits to forward thinking on the issue. Hell, I'm surprised that a lot of people aren't looking at "them damn liberal countries" developing the tech and not wanting to do it even better just from the pure sense of American Superiority that many folks have.
