I might have missed it, but how about THIS factor?
All that BS about “alternative” energy sources is — well — BS! They are NEITHER cost effective NOR environmentally friendly over the long haul. Never HAVE been. In fact, nearly all those energy forms simply move the often
greater pollution they produce to another area of the country or world and concentrate it THERE. Hell, let’s just put all those dirty solar collector, BATTERY, pump and pipe plants in — say — Pennsylvania or West Virginia so WE can live that eco-friendly lifestyle HERE! Textbook NIMBY idiocy!
The purpose of the solutions to climate change is a regulatory framework to enact global government. That is all.
