You are right Phil.  Let me reword my comment,

This is not political rhetoric, it PHYSICS.  It's great to think
blue sky but until some new physics is found, we're bound by the
universe we have.  Will there be something new?  Almost certainly.
Shouldn't take but a few centuries to discover.  By then, oil will be
gone - or $1000 a liter.  So either we use the nuclear source we
have today (which IS that 'thinking' you recommend) or we begin the
'long slide' you envision.

You and I see eye-to-eye on most things but I can't negate physics
in favor of philosophy.
