Let his conscience do the talking. I'm sure the president is very witty to consider the right advocacy for the general welfare and not just for the chosen few.

On one hand, I think “green” energy is alright. I mean it does do wonders for the environment, is technically “cleaner” than most fuels we have right now, and it will create jobs. On the other hand, it can get a little hyped and overrated, but very misunderstood. There's so many misconceptions about environment-friendly things that it gets crazy.

The numbers for nuclear are actually a pretty tough nut to crack based on what I read here, so I'm not too comfortable arguing this one in either direction. Nuclear's also got so many other moving parts beyond EROEI (security, waste, economics, construction time, depletion/breeders, etc.) that it's really a whole different discussion by itself.

…exploring for and producing our own energy which has the potential to be cheap and available for the next five hundred years or so…

That analogy doesn't work. There is significant progress being made on the nanotech front. If we start rolling out a huge solar network right now and start mass producing solar cells with current technology, we know we are missing out quite a bit on improvements that are right around the corner. There is early-stage research that is showing massive improvements.

It's like digging up all the ground to put in a telephone network when cellular is 3-6 years away.

Please note that your EROEI figures are not mainstream. Nuclear and hydro are far better than you quote. Other than that, I agree, adding that another fundamental problem with most renewables are their unreliability. You can only integrate so much stochastic production in our grid – wind probably don't scale beyond 20%. Currently only nuclear really does, aside from fossils.

Maybe if everyone says they believe in Tinkerbell and claps their hands, or if they click their heels three times, and say there's no energy like solar energy, Tinkerbell will come back to life, and all our energy problems will vanish. Or maybe if the democraps don't hamstring our energy production by forbidding us from exploring for and producing our own energy which has the potential to be cheap and available for the next five hundred years or so, we wouldn't have to avail ourselves of hoax energy sources and 'solutions' that will kill the economy and drive a tax/fee stake into the hearts of ninety five percent of the American public.
