Let me put it in my usual verbiage.

#### solar and wind power.

If it was so great, billions would have been invested by Silicon Valley and others already.

That didn’t happen.

Perry said he believes in man made climate change at the confirmation hearing. Whether he believes it or not it is a very bad sign. If he does believe it, bad. if he doesn’t believe it still bad because one he’s lying and two he believes he needs to say it to get confirmed which means the battle is almost lost.

Not true! Billions of public and private investment have been thrown at these energy sources. Wind turbines are much more efficient; solar cells have dramatically reduced cost and gained huge efficiency.

Problem is that fossil fuel plants need to keep running at the same time as backup power all day and night. Very little solar/wind energy is actually used!

Lousy investment.
