Somewhere in our future, there is a budding Thomas Edison that will come up with something and hopefully he will be justly rewarded for it.
Nothing sad about it.

The damn politicians effin' drink and eat oil for tea. I totally respect that everyone has to make economic decisions for their own survival, but we're all pretty enslaved to the petroleum industry.
If everything were laid out on an equal footing, solar, wind, nuclear, you name it, I bet petroleum wouldn't even make it into the top three.
