98% of the energy available to us is geothermal, about 1.6% is solar, wind and hydro make up about another .35% with fossil fuels, lumber and other combustibles making up another .04% and about .01% nuclear.
We need to use natural gas as a transition fuel and we need better capacitors. People need to decentralize their power production and get used to having less electricity. You still need high energy fuels for industry but it's a waste to run machines on them that don't need it. Powering your electric cars from a gas power plant takes advantage of economy of scale and is more efficient than each individual car producing far more power than they need. Aeropower technology is plenty good. Hydro dams destroy large habitats. Solar panels are made of terrible poisons but wind power only kills birds.
Even assuming anthropogenic global warming and climate change don't exist, it always makes sense to learn to live with less, be frugal and lower your expectations, use energy more efficiently, promote options and have clean air to breathe. You can't tell me you don't smell it if you live near a freeway.
