Renewable energy I'm all for.
The thing is, I'm quite discouraged as the most obvious sources seem to be ignored- namely, ocean currents. Not waves, not tides, but currents. They're strong, they're steady, we know where they are, and we're doing fuck-all with them. Go down a couple hundred feet and no storm will harm your machines. Make them of fiberglass and they won't accumulate barnacles. No environmental impact, constant energy, and we're ignoring it.

Biofuels are not sustainable or realistic- they're a bone tossed to Earth First and that crowd. If you look at the numbers, it actually takes more oil to produce the ethanol than if you just ran the cars on the oil. The amount of energy in a gallon of ethanol is puny compared to gasoline.

Feck, don't get me on a rant again...
