The highest energy cosmic rays provide compelling evidence for EeV neutrino sources, if we can achieve the Teraton target volumes needed. At 10 TeV energies and above neutrino astronomy is in fact the only astronomy with a clear view of the whole universe. Radio detection of neutrino cascade interactions in ice and other solid dielectric media, via the Askaryan effect, provide a realistic path toward this goal.
