Or does this "weaning" involve shivering in the dark?
Offshore drilling? Yes. Alaskan Drilling? Yes. Nuclear power? Yes. Strip mining? No.

There are other options and avenues of research out there. Taken as a whole they can go a long way towards reducing our dependince on fossil fuels.

Hydrogen fuels (both as a combustible as well as fuel cells), underwater turbines, offshore wind farms.

It's not necessary to solve the problem in on fell swoop, but steps do need to be taken.
