The facts of the matter are that the US has proven oil deposits exceeding all other known sources in the world combined and the ability to recover it are being perfected as we speak. However, the real “energy” news that will rock the world has to do with MIT’s students’ discovery of converting solar energy at a cost similar to the price of coal using solar concentrators. If we use coal to power 50% of our economy then this is huge news. This new solar is a lot cleaner than most alternative energy sources out there. And, they are two or three years away from widescale implementation. This changes everything!

Although I use some solar myself, I'm skeptical of solar for a couple of reasons. One is that even if it becomes cost effective we still have to store the energy.

That said do you have any inks to the MIT research? I'd be interested in reading it.

Sounds like grant bait to me
