Good point. Let's build nuclear power plants--lots of them.
Oh, wait. The enviros won't let us.
OK, let's do space power satellites.
Oh, wait. Obama just canceled our planned heavy lift rocket.
OK, so let's put miles and miles of solar panels out in the deserts.
Oh, wait. The enviros won't let us do that either.
Any other suggestions?
