MTT - I'm not trying to bash your comment here, I'm only stating that I disagree...

This is why we continue to burn fossil fuels primarily and are willing to blow off mountain tops and drill over 3 miles into the earths crust in search of the stuff.


We continue to burn fossil fuels because not enough "Alternative Energy" resources are given enough chance to take off well enough. "Big Oil" continues to have a tight grip on our economy in many more ways than ppl can imagine.
Many other (AE) products have helped revolutionize the outlook on (AE) but it's not wide spread enough yet, it's not in public's eye enough, nor are the products used/advertised enough to manage to surpass the need/desire/want for the ability to use products that need "Big Oil". As with any product...it's all about "Supply & Demand". And if I supply something you (the economy) want/need...I have the ability and right to bring my sale price up to as much as I would like and you (the economy) will still buy it...simply because you want/need it. It does not cost much more now to produce fuel as it did 30-40 yrs ago....yet fuel is $3.50 - $5.00 more than it was then???? (This is my point)...Big Oil has too tight of a grip on our economy.
Not to mention the fact that any time a "New and improved company/product" is released that could "help" revolutionize our world...big companies like GE will come along and gobble up (buy out) that product/company (and all the rights to it)...simply to tuck that product/company away in the basement...all because that product would cost less and/or be more efficient, therefor, cause the companies like GE to loose business or essentially go out of business. IMHO.
