If there is a cheap and clean energy source out there, odds are someone--looking in the right place--will find it.
And it underscores the crucial need to utilize an abundance of dirty coal in China and Mongolia as a clean energy source for the fastest growing economy in the world.
FORBES: Synthesis Energy Systems Will Turn China's Dirty Coal Into Clean Natural Gas
President Barack Obama has strongly endorsed natural gas as a clean energy source, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said more natural gas is critical for the city to improve air quality and public health.
Shale gas production has become all the rage in the U.S. because it potentially increases the U.S. supply of natural gas, a clean burning energy source.
With this new promise, anti-growth, anti-energy environmentalists have suddenly taken notice, and are gearing up to try to kill this exciting (and ironically quite clean) new energy source.
As a result, companies and governments need to find a way to bridge the current fossil fuels era to the next era, where clean energy will become a key energy source.
In the end, Germany can still modify its energy plan to reasonably address its ideological concerns and bring up renewables to a sustainable level without doing away with their only clean and cheap energy source.
Meanwhile, whatever happens with nuclear energy, solar power remains the most dynamic, fastest-growing source of clean, renewable energy and, indeed, of any energy source.
On earth, a magnetically confined plasma is what nuclear-fusion researchers wrestle with in their search for a clean source of energy.
And the solar industry is both an affordable and sustainable source of clean energy, and a significant job creator.

Hydrogen produced from renewable resources is a promising source of clean energy, but the gas is difficult to handle and transport.
He said the Bridgend plant will be the sole global source of the clean energy engine and it was a "real feather in the cap" for Wales.
Wind turbines that are a source of clean, green energy are also having an unforeseen impact on bats and birds.
So what better time for Ocean Power Technologies, a company that aims to capture hydropower as a source of clean, renewable energy, to makes its U.S. stock market debut?
China stalled its production of dozens of new nuclear power stations, but has since returned to building out the clean-burning, but potentially hazardous, energy source.
Analysts expect that the failure of Solyndra could make it difficult for other clean energy ventures to tap into federal loans as a source of funds.
FORBES: Solyndra Bankruptcy Can't Stop First Solar From Bouncing Back To $135
Not everyone is convinced that wind-power is the most reliant route to clean, renewable carbon-free energy, and it is concerning that Britain is relying on a power source that must be backed up by more constant technologies such as nuclear, coal, or gas, because the wind blows inconsistently, as is its nature.
Nukes may not be quite as clean as wind, solar or geothermal, but they provide a carbon-free and domestic source of energy that produces lots of jobs.
