On a related note concerning the lack of understanding of basic scientific principles check out this article on batteries published in yesterday's Christian Science Monitor:
http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/Energy/2015/0830/How-a-new-battery-revolution-will-change-your-life Basically the article fails to fully understand that the batteries being discussed are storage batteries and the power being stored by the batteries has to come from another power source. So while the article does mention that these batteries can used to make solar and wind power available during times of no sun or wind, it fails to understand that the vast majority of electricity that goes into the vast storage batteries initially comes from a power plant burning fossil fuels, particularly those being used in electric automobiles. Add to this the fact the article manages to discuss the future batteries and energy without even the slightest mention of climate change, climate change that is being driven by the burning of fossil fuels.
