1. I included the first comic because it shows how much we still need to accomplish in terms of alternative energy. We cannot just be satisfied with the products we know of because they still don't completely solve our problems. We can't just "stay the course" but need to be inventive and come up with new research.2. Comic 2 depicts the U.S as a giant solar panel. This comic is showing how although solar energy may be a good alternative source of energy since Sun is free and abundant, it requires too much surface area to be the only source of energy.
3. The third comic is funny to me because this man who is obviously an environmentally friendly person who is ignoring the potential of nuclear energy that is right in front of him.

about the solar panel caricature. I found it interesting because of a project that is currently being undertaken in Oregon.

It is just interesting how there are some movements that are adapting the current need for energy to our current way of life.
Actually the third commic is wrong. Ti satisfy the world needs of electriciy, only a small portion would be needed.
