Re: [RC] Looks like "Peak Oil" is in the distant future rather than the near future

Some. Solar Energy is not panning out and is not ready to take over any large amount of electricity generation any time soon. Wind power is not practical in many regions, notably the Midwest during tornado season. The Gulf and Atlantic coasts have hurricanes from time to time. If we went nuclear we could do it, but the environmentalist wackos hate that almost as much as they do oil and coal. So I see slow and steady progress with alternatives, but NOW is not the time to price oil and coal excessively high and regulate it into oblivion when their replacements are not ready for prime time. Why that's just crazy talk.
