It's pointless trying to please the "environmentalists" regarding power generation. They oppose everything.

Want to put up a wind farm. You can't, because they're ugly and might hurt birds.

How about solar? Only small scale, like on the roof of your house.
Forget about going for efficiency with huge solar farms in the desert. They're ugly, and will undoubtedly harm some endangered species.

Nukes? Are you kidding?

Coal? Nope.

Hydro? Nope. No more dams.

If I've left out anything, it doesn't matter because they oppose it too.

This is true. They even opposed Fred Flintstone's car until he decided not to hitch a dinosaur to the front and chose to propel it himself.

Joking aside, you are right on the money.

Exactly, if they had their way we would be using horse and buggies. And I am sure they would still find something to complain about.
