So, in order to ramp up the capabilities of alternative energies like Solar and Wind we need a bit of runway of time to get it all in sync with our pocket books (personal budgets). Seems to me that the only way to keep a lid on current rising costs of energy in the normal format (oil) would be to flood the zone. Produce enough oil to keep inventories at levels placing an economic lever on the price. Then in 3-5 years we should have Solar and Wind solutions deployed in great numbers. With companies like A123Systems in the great state of MA we have the next generation of Hybrids (plug ins) already shipping.
So the issue isn't the technology capabilities it is the Time Factor to build enough infrastructure to supply and support the Residential and Commercial needs.
So, in my conclusion the answer is Drill and Drill and Drill. Thoughts?

Take all this crap about drill or not to drill and just start drilling. Don't stop till we suck it all up. Take 50% of the profits (this would be a MUST for the drilling companies to get the rights to drill) and invest in None Oil producing propulsion. Period. End this.
Robert, although a compelling argument, I have to say that a more prudent approach would be the T Boone Pickens approach with Wind and Solar. Renewable now is the only way we get there. The big Oil Companies won't behave we know that. They will take the bonanza of drilling and drill all of us up the back side.
We have a chance to take $700B dollars and give it to the Silicon Valley and this will be taken care of. I would love to see the country stick it to Wall Street right now and give the money to the right people who can create jobs, technology and CLEAN Energy!
