Rocky Mountain News- November 1, 2008
The search for energy is about looking at all options. Energy alternatives need to be primarily clean renewable sources like solar, wind, geothermal, and bio-fuels, but all other options need to be looked at. It is unlikely that this country would be able to rely solely on wind and solar because the two are not always present in every region, and transmission is unreasonable from coast to coast. There has to be a supplement in energy production, and that will have to come from clean coal, natural gas, methane, nuclear, or some other fuel we are trying to move away from. Until we find the magic fuel and production method we will have to use a combination of everything we have. Clean coal is the most likely choice for now because he have technology that closely resembles what we need, and the infrastructure is already in place.
