The technology is there; the support is not.
I'm all for ending our dependency on foreign oil, but only if we access our own oil while we slowly bring other resources along. To suddenly pull the plug on carbon fuels would do nothing but throw our economy into a tailspin of massive proportions. We have the oil, coal, etc within our own country. And we can access and use it safely. We need to do so while we continue to develop all the other viable technologies.
