Thanks Groo,
I was beginning to wonder where some of the statements poo-pooing solar/wind/hydro were coming from, but didn't have a "documented" arguement. I'm just a layman, but it doesn't take a P.H.D.* to recognize that the only safe, sane, satisfactory answer to power supply/consumption is a combination of eco-friendly production (sorry, but to me that means NO nukes,coal,gas,etc.) and better/smarter use of the power produced (you flashlight folks, c'mon, get on the band-wagon, L.E.D.s vs. "old fashioned" bulbs is a perfect example).

As I've already stated, I'm just one of the common folk, but it's pretty clear to me, that as long as there's a higher profit in burning coal/gas, or using nuclear power to turn the generators at the power plants, the powers that be don't give a flying hoot about ten years down the line, let alone a hundred.
