Yes, there is enough if we move to ethanol and biodiesel for
transportation use.  Nuclear, wind and, solar ect. must be maximised
as well.  Homes for the future need to maximize thermal efficiency. 
This sounds like utopianism but it is the direction we must go if we
intend that the country will continue to economically develop.  All of
these technologies will be part of the economic matirx.
