The greatest barriers to a conversion are neither technical nor economic. They are social and political. Thus, effective polices are needed to ensure a rapid transition.

Took trillions of dollars to clean it up.. it was a real mess.I want to use the cheapest energy I can find. I wonder how many barrels of oil it takes to make a windmill.
