CD...I'm gonna take some time to study that as it obviously took you a long time to put together. What I have to say right now though is that you have not responded to the question asked:
What energy sources do we have locally that can be sustained for a decade or two (your words) that are anywhere near capable of replacing even 25% of the btu's we get from oil?
This means NOW and over he next two decades. 75% of the energy you propose is from nukes which take 20 years to build. This merely reinforces the need for oil reserves over the next 20 years...and the more the better to keep the price as low as possible and our balance of payments down and dollar strong.
Having said that. Your scenario for what 20 years out might look like is worth considering but will require a lot more research on my part. so...I'll take a partial "Sapper Syndrome" on this one for a while!
