I personally think it's a catch22 - but, I'm slightly with you on that.... But, I also see it as being another transition tech - not a potential solution tech.

Personally, I think the only energy solution is solar... Humans and their stuff aside - the planet needs a LOT of energy... And it gets it from the sun. Sure, it's expensive at the moment and not quite efficient enough just yet - but the human race is pretty good at engineering itself out of predicaments... Thus far, it's been deferring problems til later :/
