What is your favorite solution to the growing energy crisis in America?

As an engineer, I would say liquified or gasified coal is our best bet. We have a huge supply of it here in the U.S. and large advances in technology have lead to coal being as clean burning as natural gas.

Some other popular choices….

Wind technology – we don’t have the land area for it to completely replace oil, but I’d like to see it cover about 10% of U.S. energy demands.

Nuclear – Our best option next to coal, large cost if mistakes happen but they chances are pretty remote. I’d like to see about 30% of energy go to this

Hydro- we’re pretty much maxed out on this one

Solar – we need MUCH larger advances in this field before we can even consider it

Ethonol – Flat out terrible fuel. It costs more energy to produce it than you get out of it. It’s crazy to even consider it.
