Solar power is definately a cool way to go if you've got the bucks and don't live in too much of a city grid.
Nuclear fusion is a ways off, so I think we'll depend on fossil fuels until then.

Brazil just discovered 2 sites with a potential of 20 billion barrels of crude oil.
Matching Saudia Arabia and Kuwait for the biggest potential oil find in the last 15 years.

Some are saying if what Brazil is saying, pans out...the US won't need to keep the mideast stabilized with all our military and diplomatic presence there, being that we would be no longer totally dependent on the mid-east for oil.

Some propose that all hell could break loose there, if, Brazil's new discovery of vast oil is true.

The US would naturally not need to maintain such a presence there in the mid-east, for oil.

"BRAZIL has discovered huge new petroleum reserves in its south that could turn the country into one of the biggest oil producers in the world, the government and its state-controlled oil company has announced."

Bottom line...
We ain't going anywhere past fossil fuels for the next two decades, folks. Not untill science achieves a sustanable very high, effeciant temperature for nuclear fusion. That takes a lot of power.
