Sir Toe:
Nice to see someone inject some historical reality into this mess.  The only 
thing I'd reserve judgment on is the 'inexhaustibility' of solar power.  If 
you take a long term view, that's not really true.  But hopefully none of us 
will live to witness the depletion of that energy source.  Of course, most 
people (as in the 'average bear') seem to think that the oil supply is 
inexhaustible too.  I have a different view of the world - use it up (the 
oil), watch it (civilization) crash, and let's get on with what comes next  
:-)

Walk softly,
Jim
