Gentlemen, what say ye?
What sayest I?

Are you assuming that research may now cease? And that there will be no further developments and breakthroughs in the quest for alternate sources of power?

Are innovations and improvements in methods of utilizing the earth's greatest power source (the sun) to affordable and practical advantage, likely to peter out??

And in "50, 100 or 150 years"?

(Incidentally, wind is solar power.)

Nope.

I have no doubt. The day will come when the power source we need will manifest itself, and WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

But we gotta live until it does.

So ramp up the drilling and start laying that pipeline.
