What I'm saying is that energy supply is a very important matter an unrealistic expectations can be downright dangerous and with current technology solar can't even come close to replacing fossil fuel. I wish it were otherwise but wishing does not make it true. > No Windfarms? > If they ever became really common environmentalists would fight to the death to stop them. Windfarms are ugly, they're noisy, they disrupt global wind patterns, and they kill little birds. > no Geotherm? > If it ever became really common environmentalists would fight to the death to stop it. Geothermal smells bad, if fouls the groundwater, and causes earthquakes. Environmentalist love any new energy source as long as it's just on paper and is never put into practice; they prefer the solution of freezing to death in the dark.
