As energy prices have cratered over the past six months, talk of viable alternatives has gone by the wayside. Unfortunately, although oil and gas prices are in what can really only be described as a bust, "punish the oil companies" talk has not subsided. The worst of all worlds with regard to longterm energy policy is upon us. We're eschewing nuclear and other viable alternative energy sources (because energy is cheap again), all while reversing "drill here, drill now" (which will = major fail and pain in the future). When the economy does pick up steam again at some point after 2010 and demand for energy picks up accordingly, don't be surprised to see energy prices once again take their toll. And we still won't have viable alternatives in place. So says the ant... to the grasshopper.
