I always wondered whether heroism is having a too large supply of guts or having not enough guts to run away, knowning that you will be labeled a coward. In my case it would be the second case: too coward to act like a coward...
About power just two figures: mankind eletrical energy production is about 60 Exa Joules per year, Sun power plastered on earth is about 4 MILLION Exa Joules per year. The sun won't have output problems for the next billion years.
The only reasons for our energy choices are:
1- there are interest groups which want to keep the world concerned with political situation of Middle East (otherwise we could simply forget about the fate of a nation I will leave un-named...),
2- trying to stealthy build nukes (e.g. what a group of assholes is trying to do now, to fight the un-named you-know-who, which, in turn, is busily building its own nukes since the 1960's...).
