This is something that occurs to me frequently: how come few, if any,
people ever mention that there are MANY partial substitutes for oil? No
one thing (solar, wind, tides, ethanol, etc.) can substitute for oil - no
one thing can even come into the same ballpark. Not even into the parking
lot....not even down the street from the parking lot.

But how about a combination of many other sources of energy?

Combined with strict conservation, this would seem - to me - to be the only
way forward.

So why is everyone discussing it pushing only their one pet source of
energy?
