The real solution has been posted over and over....

Conserve more, and diversify the energy sources.

We've already spent way too long on "it can't be done! it will ruin the economy!"

We wouldn't be in Iraq today if that call had been heeded much earlier...
Instead we allowed fear of economic collapse determine our policies.

Quit being afraid, damnit!!!!!
