Nuclear fusion would be nice.

Solar and Wind power are great. When I get around to buying a house, I'm going to look into both to supplement my power needs.

Nuclear fission creates some issues. The radioactive waste is around for centuries. I have reservations as to our ability to safely store the waste.

The dirty secret is that we have enough oil for at least 200 years. They can charge much more for a commodity that is perceived as being scarce, so they've perpetuated the myth that we're in danger of running out. While oil based energy is dirty and undesirable, we won't run out of oil in our lifetime or our children's lifetime, for certain.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
