God has created a world for us that is full of wonders and seemingly infinite resources. It's up to us to use those resources in the most beneficial way possible for all of humanity.

Never have been a proponent of coal - it k**ls the people mining it and it k**ls the people using it. That being said, I'm also not a big proponent of oil and gas. In the areas of the country where we are drilling, there has been a tremendous increase in seizmic activity. The more we take out of the ground, the more the earth's crust is shifting. Only time will tell. But, given the alternative, I'd rather be paying for and refining our own oil and natural gas than someone elses.

I do lean more toward solar and wind but the technologies are not quite there yet. Storage of electricity generated by solar and wind is still in it's early development stages - at least when we talk about mass storage for distribution.

Does anyone have more up-to-date info to either support or contradict my personal observations.

The reason I am asking is because I am working on a private sector project do develop affordable housing for the homeless. Integrating solar and wind technologies will not enable us to eliminate dependence on the fuel sources that produce the electricity we use, but it should reduce our costs by 40% or more as we feed the electricity we generate back into the grid.
