Hydroelectric sources have been all used to potential and wind is only nice if the wind is actually blowing. Wind & solar & energy efficiency would be a great idea if used in a universe where our population is static in growth. In reality the worlds population is going to keep growing and we are going to keep needed ways to get ahold of more steady baseload energy.

I'm with Paul. Could we find another way to waste the poor people's tax money? Yet they still can't figure out why we don't like taxes... If they spent it more wisely, on actual important things it wouldn't be so bad.
