61. Correction, current technology(most of it) runs on fossil fuels...

science runs on curiosity and experimentation.

You are under a misapprehension about what science is, which doesn't surprise me. Science is nothing more than a methodology to eliminate bias in observation and experimentation. All it requires are brains and hands(or a couple of working fingers for Stephen Hawking. You want to know what science is? Its a cup of water, an umbrella(or other type of covering), and a thermometer. Drawing on previous knowledge, and I can measure, precisely, how much energy the Earth receives from the Sun on any given day, at any latitude. I can even see if any variation takes place(prediction is, not much, at least not based on latitude).

Your problem isn't with science, its with the application of science through technology. Its through this same methodology that we can work on solutions to the energy crisis. Alternatives already exist, and further improvements can be made. You seem to be under the impression that we should stop such advancements, the question is, if we did, would the problems go away, or grow worse? I would say they would grow worse, and your predictions of it being ugly will come to fruition, but it would be a self fulfilling prophecy.
