Not just from rays taht reach the earth but perhaps some other ways that are considered "science fiction" at the moment.
I do agree that there might be an oil crisis one day but i am confident in the human kinds ability to overcome such obstacles.

Humans are ingenius. I do have faith in them too.
In North America, we don't even use things like windmills to generate electricity. There is definite room for improvement and new technologies.
From a purely financial, economic, political, and militaristic standpoint, I can see why going to 'war' with Iraq to extract oil (let's argue that it was the sole reason, just for arguments sake) as it's fundamental to our lifestyle. Clearly it's a moral and ethical disaster.
