The biggest problem is simply a lack of alternatives though. Hybrid cars are nice, but really only another drop in the ocean.

Above all, we need to stop squabbling over where to locate the new Fusion plant and get it up and running. If we can get that working, our energy problems are over.

Do you have any links I could follow? I don't recall anything being in the news about that release.
I know it was mentioned by pundits that he should...but I never heard anything about him actually DOING it.
I agree we should be developing alternative sources of energy...pebblebed reactors would be a good nuclear alternative if the general public weren't so scared out of their shorts by any thing labeled nuclear...or Nukular as some people say.....
Fuel Cells are another area that needs a lot of development in my opinion....and of course we could cover over large stretches of the US Desert Southwest for solar power if it weren't for the eco-nuts and the fact that solar cells are still way too expensive....
