If you are using a computer, then the odds are that you consume electricity. Electricity has to be produced by some means and the options are very limited as to how to do so. You have coal, nuclear, gas, oil, hydro, solar, wind, and tidal action.
Coal is plentiful and our best chance of getting free of foreign energy dependence in the immediate future. Unfortunately, the Obama Administration has declared open war on the industry.
Nuclear is our best chance for energy independence for the long-term. Unfortunately, various interest groups in the US are at war with nuclear power and they hold sway with the administration. Which is funny, since as a world citizen, you'd think Obama would accept nuclear power since the rest of the world typically has few issues with the concept and since they didn't try to abort their programs in their infancy, they actually have few operational issues.
Gas? Somewhat plentiful but expensive because Clinton/Gore blocked pipeline production. Since it's a fossil fuel, it is automatically evil and many want it blocked.
Oil? Same as coal if a bit less plentiful.
Hydro? Great, but dams hurt the fishies (not really but who cares about honesty) so they need to go.
Wind? Wonderful. Clean, quiet, . . . and amazingly inefficient on any significant scale. Besides, turbines cause visual pollution and thus must be banned (it's funny when enviro nuts block the same wind power they push for).
Solar? Same as wind, with same results. Enviros love it until they find out that to get the power their own neo-Luddite life style (with computers and lights for all and private jets for the wealthy enviros) demands, you'll have to cover massive areas with panels.
Tidal action? It's got a chance to produce good results (although not massive amounts of power) but anyone think the enviros are going to accept the visual pollution of the required facilities? Besides, where tides produce the most power is also where the surfing is best. When personal interests interfere with societal goods, even the enviros go for their own.
All in all, if you are a consumer of electricity, you are probably going to align more with the energy execs than with the people who want to effectively castrate electricity production. Improving efficiency and promoting conservation is great, but the best models say that even with such measures, the demand for electricity is continuing to grow and will continue to grow. We need to be focused on generating more electricity at the same time we promote environmental/societal measures, not working to undermine electricity production and increase costs. Unfortunately, this administration is dedicated to the latter and not the former.
