To me it is really surprising that there is not a stronger push for conserving energy. I think with a good campaign, the USA could reduce the amount of energy used per capita by 20%. I drive by countless office buildings each night with lots of lights on, and I can tell nobody is in the office. Not many people or businesses go out of there way to actually conserve electricity and that is said.

When comparing diverse technologies, shouldn't we also compare their lifetime availability? Additionally, opportunity costs for wind/solar CSP also involve putting in the transmission lines to get the power out to the consumers. I would expect some opportunity costs due to delays in this as well. Last, but not the least, some advanced technologies such as underground coal gasification (UCG) in which sub-stoichiometric reactions between coal, water and air produce a hydrogen-rich syngas stream seemingly have better emissions compared to pulverized coal (and in cases even better than natural gas combined cycle - NGCC) power plants.
