The 3 truly sustainable non polluting energy sources available now are solar, hydroelectric, and wind power.

Burning ethanol, biodiesel, and veggie oil still pump pollutants and CO2 emissions into the air, so calling them green I believe is a misnomer.

I don't honestly believe we can do away completely with petroleum use, but surely not burning it anymore is a good first step.
