Ok, I'll bite. Name the dozen alternatives that could replace oil now, or even within the next decade.

I am not an expert on the subject of alternative energy, but a friend of mine has been in the industry for a few years now and business is a boomin.

He took a pay cut and a risk by going to work for a solar energy company three years ago with the expectations of growth and being involved in something meaningful.

He was right. He started at the bottom climbing ladders and such installing the solar systems on residential and commercial locations. Now, as of seven months ago he has relocated and is now an the operations manager in a new location he started from scratch in the Philadelpia area. The location is extremely successful thus far, he is very happy and less people rely on oil for their source of energy.

My point is that this is an example of growth and success, not only as far as employment, but also a positive step in the right direction for alternative energy sources. It is already in the process of happening.

This discussion definitely took off on a few tangents.

Although this is major issue that involves a lot of issues intertwined, leave the politics and religion out of it.

Rather than nuke specific comments, here is a link to Part II, where we can start fresh and hopefully things can stay on track:
