People are developing the alternatives as we type. They're already here. Many are on the market right now. Many others will be put on the market very soon. And the people who are in the process of marketing these energy alternatives will be laughing all the way to the bank at the bunch of sluggards who clung so tenaciously to fossil fuels for so long... those energy dinosaurs who will be left out of the new economy, their silly heads spinning, wondering what that whistling noise was that just zipped past their ear. The sound of change that they tried so hard, unsucessfully, to prevent. Just wait.
