The sun is not going out, and Wind is not going to stop, we harness these RENEWABLE resources and we win as a society and a country and not to mention Earth. Its thoughts like yours that are whats wrong with our energy policy. I would rather my tax dollars go towards Alt Energy than Oil Subsidies.

I personally don't think any one energy solution is the answer. A broad portfolio that consists of several different forms is the answer in my opinion. Too much dependence on any form of energy production makes you a slave to that industry.
Solar and wind are great, I'm all for them. I think they have a roll to play in our energy portfolio, but so does fossil and nuclear and other misc forms of energy production as well. Fossil and nuclear (and some renewable's like Hydro) provide reliable and consistent base load to the grid, something wind and solar do not being that they are more susceptible to changing climates.
