Sorry for coming on so strong. I am an engineer and get bent out of shape by what appears to be magical thinking, which we humans despite our impressive brains, or perhaps because of our impressive brains, seem to have a fondness for.
I think that many forms of alternative energy could be almost practical as long as we limit our demand for power to the quantities and availability unique to each source. Doesn't sound hard but it is when we have become used to what is possible with fossil fuels.
