You said it right there "cost effective". Cost effective is our current situation.


Side note: for all those environmentalists, ever so worried about the environment and human damage to it, should watch the Discovery Channels special "Life Indestructible" on the Miracle Planet series. According to it the planet has been hit 6 times w/the last occurring 5 billion years and in this time, within a day of impact, everything....is gone, the Earth becomes as hot as the sun. So, by all means, keep saving the planet
