Here, here.
And to aklim, if we found a way to be self sufficient (which would be extremely difficult to do BTW) we would be selling it to our neighbors who would want it just as much as we do, so your argument goes out the window. Do you think we`d be keeping any alternative energy technology to ourselves and not making a killing off it? Hell, the ensuing economic boom would make the Dot.com thing look like a kiddy party.
