I get your point completely. The financial motivation, is, of course, always there. My point is, if this easily, doable, somebody on Earth somewhere, would fling their middle finger to the oil companies direction, by building and supporting an example. My belief is that going solar is a very, hard, technical, problem to resolve. That somebody in Japan, China, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, India, Argentina, Australia, in Essex, in France, Switzerland, would have constructed such a system already. If it was easy problem, I wouldn't be so belligerent, on getting this right. I would concede that solar is on its way, so what am I bitching about? You are asking to shut off the dirty stuff quickly, and I am saying don't do it, unless we have replacement source, at the ready.

Given the sort of effort ut into that that has been put into the "space race" or warfare we'd have this sorted by next week. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
