    <<A few windmills are going up along 5 now (low interest rates making them
    attractive investments) but progress is being strangled by low oil
    prices. 
    This world cannot make any real progress in energy production until we
    burn up most of the reserves.  Cheapy oil is holding back progress.
    Eventually we will turn the corner.  The glass is half full and filling
    steadily.

    Yes, but internal combustion engines do not run on windpower. Are you
    thinking that we ought to create fuel through solar energy and windpower to fuel our
    cars? I didn't think so. :-)
