We won't get any proper alternative energy until we got proper alternative energy...
The progress in the direction of alt energy is extremely slow because it's currently, short-term, not cost effective. There's little money going into it. Coal will be cheaper. Research is expensive. Unless the gov't supports alt energy research, it won't get anywhere. And the gov't doesn't have that money. We are still without electric cars even though they're cheaper and better in pretty much every way than non-electric cars, but because they're not immediately financially effective they have not been progressing for the past few decades.
Side effect of capitalism...
So, whenever someone sticks a solar plant somewhere, I'm happy. However slowly maybe we'll get somewhere...
