US On Verge of a Renaissance as Energy Boom Begins

like what? there isn't some sort of magical energy source waiting to be discovered that will fulfill mankind's need of energy while being completely clean. people toss around renewable energy a lot these days but it's pretty much expecting something from nothing. the closest thing to a utopian energy source is fusion, or maybe the thorium fission reactors, and both are still quite far away.

The sun.

In human terms the sun is free, unlimited energy.


And hypothetically if global warming is real then all we need is a way to turn hot air into electricity.

I recommend we try it on capital hill first.

Electricity generation by renewables is very viable right now, just look at parts of Europe and even Texas.

But that's for electricity and not transportation. Until battery technologies catch up(or some other energy carrier), fossil fuels will rule transportation.

Renaissance will happen when the primary energy source will be renewable and not based on dead dinosaurs...

Already working on that.
