Definitely support drilling and nuclear, but politically there’s no need to alienate anyone by being scathingly opposed to “alternative” energy like solar and wind. The people who are truly wrong are those who oppose drilling, but there is nothing inherently evil about wind power, so in my view there’s no need to crap on it as a political message.
You’re right. There is no need for us to dump on alternative energy. However, there is strong need for us to dump on government mandates and subsidies for alternative energy.
