1. It'll eventually be renewable 'clean' energy or no energy.

Petroleum deposits the world over are starting to run out. The GOP claims that 'peak oil' is merely still a speculation. It's here. The numbers back it up. Petroleum production is only going to go down hill from here. It'll be clean renewable energy or none. That's the reality facing us.
