While completely offtopic, it is entirely true !

I believe you are wrong, at least from a practical standpoint. There are no reliable and practical way to store electricity to power the east coast during two days. I hope there will be someday, but as of today, there is none.

Well, after a hurricane I wouldn't bet on the stuff you just screwed on your rooftop. That said, it all sounds nice except from the fact that cloudy winter days will require another source of energy. And at night. And on cloudy summer days to a lesser extent. So while it could reduce the need for a central plant, it can in no way replace it. You will still need approximately the same central power generation structures we have today, because there will be time where all your shiny stuff won't generate a whole lot of power. The only difference is that they could be turned down from time to time. Except that they can't be turned on and off with that kind of flexibility.

What makes you think it will ever go out? Here's a hint: It will not. As it become scarcer and scarcer it will become more and more expensive to drill and so at the pump too. Already at current rates everyone if looking for alternatives. The higher the price, the more affordable the alternatives (because relatively they will go down, and bacause of zillions of $$ of R&D)

I believe Hydro is much much worse than that. Since 1970 there are more than 1M people that died out of a failed dam (volcanoes, earthquakes, defects, etc.). Relatively safe in the US though. (My source is in French.)

Which cannot be our only source energy.

Which doesn't solve all of our problems

Which cannot be our only source of energy.

Which is more deadly than Nuclear in addition of being kind of maxed out as you mentionned.

Which cannot be our only source of energy.

Which we have no clue if it will work in a reasonable way, so we cannot rely on it today even in future planning. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Well, a bit experimental to base our future on it just right now.

Because how are you going to explain to the people that when there's no wind, there's no power? Or when it's cloudy?

Well, I don't know. My stereo system came with a big sticker stating you should not place the subwoofer next to a computer. Sure it couldn't destroy the HDD data in a few seconds, but over time - say a year - of this treatment, I think the huge magnet in there could have had some harmfull effect.
