Solar energy? A retired University of Connecticut physicist who advocates increased development of nuclear power calls solar energy "a fraud."

Ethanol? Some critics say that at best it will swap food for fuel, at worst it will use more energy in the process than it yields.

Rechargeable batteries for autos? Some call the current technology too expensive and environmentally suspect.

Hydrogen? One advocate of ethanol fuel recently declared that the dream of a hydrogen-based economy is a "hoax."

2. no silver bullet here

the solution is going to require a BB approach not a winning silver bullet because there is not silver bullet. But it must be realized that peak oil is a liquid fuel problem and some alternatives will not fit into the lasting equation..

I'm glad too they are putting the hydrogen hoax out front though..
