Read the review on Crooks and Liars then check out the movie when you can.
The issue isn't so much whether there are renewable energy sources that could translate solar energy into hydrocarbon or electricity. There are. The issue is whether that wealthiest 0.1% of our society, the people who control our ability to finance the development of these resources, are willing to see the research and development needed to turn them into commercially viable enterprises.
The big money doesn't want it. Perhaps the largest part is apathy, but there's more to it. There are major corporate families that realize controlling the decline of the world into a post-industrial Iron Age state will place them firmly in control. After all, if all the gasoline and electricity and guns and people who have the guns belong to a few, that few become aristocracy, and the many become chattels for the new feudal order of things.
