Only if you consider 'money' synonymous with 'energy'. If you look at solar, as I am more and more (for my architecture), the limitations are only monetary. And even then, it's just the initial investment that is prohibitive, as it will eventually pay for itself in savings.
Basically, it all comes down to $$, as most things in life. We can build indeestructable cars (F1, Indy, Nascar), but we don't because people won't pay for it.
We can build buildings that will withsatnd earthquakes, missile attackes, airplanes, etc., but we don't because people won't pay for it (it's the 'acceptible loss' theory).It's sad, but true. Same goes for most of teh alt energies. While the technologies are still in their infancy, we could survive with them alone, it would just cost a gigillion more, and people just won't have that.
