Point taken. But I know that the progressive billionaires do advocate switching
off our current dirty, in exchange for promises of clean. Promises, only, that
is. Hydroelectric, isn't really solar, its gravity, so we can call it gravity
power. We should never subsidize nuclear, fossil fuels, or solar, because they
should stand or fall on their own. Its not the politics of it, its the physics
of it. Right now people are not using solar as a primary source of electricity
because they cannot, even though a majority would love to have it. It doesn't
provide enough and it cannot do 7 x 24. Nuclear has proven a disaster, the way
its conceived, hence my urging to switch to Canadian Slowpoke reactors. But
lets face it, it will likely never happen. Shale gas has become the default
power as a result of no other alternatives. What do you suggest and how much
time do we have to replace the dirty and old, since, I take you support AGW?
So, what do we do?

Its only a pipe dream if it doesn't work. Its all lies and
exaggeration if a technology if it does not. For decades, people all
over the world have worked on energy systems to replace the "dirty"
sources that we have trouble with, regarding air and water
contamination. Many progressive billionaires and their kept
politicians have promoted solar, but it cannot yet power a single city
on Earth. I am not saying this is impossible, but the means of
affordably making and storing electricity, is not enough to power,
say, even one quarter of Auckland, for example. There are always
articles on technical improvements, and I totally support all R&D, but
if we cannot supply large cities with electricity on a 7 x 24
x 365 basis, and until solar can, its a crock. The problem is the
progressives world wide, as an ideology, want solar to be the
source-whether it supplies power of not. This, is a totalitarian
quality, and as such, is civilizational threatening.
Let's review that: Since solar power (doesn't that include
hydroelectric?) can't provide 24/7/365 power to a major city - it's
worthless and we should just keep subsidizing the fossil fuel industry
(including using the military as necessary) while they endanger the future
of civilization; because actually trying to provide sustainable energy is an
evil plot by unnamed progressive billionaires.
It is to laugh...or cry.
