'Tis a pity that Jimmy Carter's energy policies were dismantled by Mr.
Reagan. We'd be much further down the road toward transitioning. But
they were, and we aren't. In the meantime, every other country in the
world is developing other energy sources, and we're going to be buying
the technology from them.

Here's a link to a Salon article (and it contains a link to one by the
same author on solar) on wind power.  One of the Japanese automakers
announced that it's going to have an all-electric car out in two
years.

We sure missed this opportunity big time.

Of course, global warming may end the human-life-on-earth experiment
in a few years, so maybe it's a ho-hum.
