Let’s get back to the original point of the article shall we? I say that despite all the hysteria about climate change, none of the proposals of the proponents of that are willing to discuss how we will replace fossil fuels as the main source of energy in the near future in a rational way. I also hold the position that those other forms of power generation while useful, are not capable of replacing fossil fuels in any measurable way. Furthermore, they pollute and the production of them requires energy from…wait for it…..energy from fossil fuel generation!! I also can state without a doubt that fossil fuel electric general can be produced with negligible pollution to the atmosphere. I’ve built those systems. I am all for a clean environment. But before we cripple our reliable sources of energy and cause the attendant human misery we must answer those perplexing questions and get nations like China, India and North Korea to agree. All the rosy projections about “green energy” are meaningless until that occurs. We have an abundance of coal and natural gas. We have untapped oil under our feet. If we can use these natural resources for another 100 years while we improve the technology to a point where it can replace those things, count me in. Until then, nah.
