Every time a conversation like this comes up I take the time to pimp Buckminster Fuller's view on fossil fuels (though he was completely nuts in other areas it seems..lol). They represent an immense natural resource that would have been best used to develop sustainable solutions. That should have been the primary use for these resources, trumping any other concern. Use them sparingly where we need them, don't where they aren't required, and consume vast quantities searching for a solution to the energy problem, rather than a bandaid. There shouldn't be any sustainable energy research project or construction initiative that is "too expensive". An investment in sustainable technologies would pay dividends that are literally infinite (with respect to humanity).
