Hi all, I'm new to this so be kind.
Fossil fules have been working ok for thousands of years. When are we going to stop giving money to these con-artists and put it to better use. Tax cuts would put more money in our pockets and then we can decide what kind of fuel to spend it on. If you then want to spen it on 'solar' you can and that's how they'll get their money!

Nukes and biomass are low-hanging fruit compared even to petrochemical fuels.

Welcome to Freerepublic! You forgot, we are dealing with the "left coast" here, where government is everything.

If you look carefully, the people behind solar cells ARE the major investors in fossil fuels. That's because solar cells consume more energy than they produce.

Hence biomass and nuclear.
