So let me get this straight. You're an engineer, but you can't conceptualize the energy problem beyond a single source solution.

I provide you with a well crafted academic analysis showing the capabilities of the various renewable energy sources in meeting our global energy needs - an analysis with a great deal of documentation and background - and all you can do is "track down a counter-argument" from a rabid pronuclear website?

Really?
