Well written post.

I can think of two possible answers, only the second one feasible  
eventually for more than farmers and homesteaders. First, wood. Seems  
to me that Tvo had given us some answers on that. Second, the prime  
source of energy, the sun. If in fact we drove electric vehicles and  
if solar charging gave us enough umph to move us to James' suggestion  
of one town trip per week, then that is sustainable. The price of the  
sun does not go up with more widespread use. In fact, as electric  
vehicles become more widespread, their price should drop.
