My blog uses the Atahualpa theme, which is supposedly cross-browser compliant. However, I'm not sure if it is compatible with Opera. I will check with the devlopers to see. Rafael,

I just noticed that your site looks like it has a few code errors at the very top of your website's page. I'm not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your blog? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great postings and I'll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out! Hi.

Reminds me of the movie Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman. The premise is that Keanu works on a team that creates a form of fusion that makes cheap, abundant, green energy. Morgan Freemans character kills the team and once confronted by mr Reeves explains the ramifications of all this cheap energy...pointing to the same things you have namely the massive investment in public and private utilities our governments have made and the governments ability to tax that power generated, very unfortunate situation Great article.

You've outlined all the pros and cons in the energy issue of today. I do think that the future really does consist of a good MIX of renewable energies. But they will have to be properly researched from all angles. Not all energies will be perfect and totally 100% green. For example: Some "green" energies such as water dams are not very green in the end, as the motors that are required to collect the energy from the rushing water actually dump waste and toxins into the water. Not so green after all. Awesome post. That really is a fantastic article.

You've hit the nail square on the head. It all comes down to economics. Clean, renewable energy will not overtake carbon-based fuels until the technology is available to make it a cheaper alternative. The time will come, but how far off that is, is anybody's guess. As an example, the first computers were not only crude and very large, but they were ridiculously expensive. Computers were around for decades before technology finally made them affordable for everybody. It was only then that the revolution took hold. Great article, Bret!
