As a permanant replacement for oil? absolutely not.
Are you in favor using oil ceaselessly until we're completely out and turning around to your kids and saying "My home's paid off, my retirements set, my 401k and Roth iras are enough to cover ME, don't know what you'll all do. Not my problem, sucks to be you guys!"

Okay. I'm glad that aren't entirely opposed to nuclear. Just as an example, here are some numbers:
Wind farm near Salina
Covers 12,000 acres
Generates 100 MW
Wolf Creek
Covers about three acres
Generates 1,100 MW
We'll utilize oil until something else comes along that is as efficient in terms of both economics and physics.
