Must-read for anyone who thinks that any of the currently proposed alternate energy sources (except nuclear) stands a chance of significantly impacting our energy policy for the next 30 years.

One of the smartest engineering fellows I’ve read debunks the alternate energy hype. Of course, so did Popular Mechanics but not as thoroughly with a lot of math to back it up. Basically, any energy source that cannot reliably on average supply at keast 1% of our annual energy usage (3.3 Terawatts a few years back) isn’t worth considering. Bye bye Wind, Solar.
