I was listeing to NPR the other day, about such wonders as geothermal power, and other alternative energy sources, and got to thinking:
How early could we plausibly see a drive towards renewable energy sources? I'm not just refering to a few small projects, but a serious drive to reduce dependence on irreplacable fuels?
Doesn't matter if it's wind, water, alcohol...anything.
I know that a lot of hydro facilities were abandoned in years past, and I heard that the Model T Ford was built with ethanol in mind.

So...ideas, anyone?
