Yeah, this is a huge issue, and how could I possibly make blanket statements? .. but this particular blanket statement isn't even contested anymore (except by oil companies and those in the gov't under their influence).  The one problem remains economic feasibility which is getting better with aerodynamic advances (for wind) and manufacturing methods (for solar), not mention the increasing interest/demand for such technology.

	Sure, which is why I said under current demands. There's plenty of ways
to reduce our dependence upon foreign oil, but some are more workable
than others. Heck, if we returned to a circa-1800 economy, we could do
without oil altogether...
