Even though us evil right wingers are not radical shove it down your throat environmentalist wackos, we do care and want to use what we have wisely.
Yes Liberals ? Environmentalist ? take the time to listen to us instead of listening to your radical agenda propaganda.
Yes, we are for solar, wind, and renewable energy sources, that is ?
When those energy sources mature to the point where it can logically and economically power our whole country and not at the determent of losing jobs or hurting the economy.
I wish our side would get that message out and keep getting the message out...
We are not against keeping the environment clean, or being good stewards of what God has given up, but on the other hand we want to promote jobs, and promote a strong economy, a strong fiscal country, strong national defense so on and so on....
There must be a level headed and logical balance approach.
What the radical environmentalist wackos want us to do is to jump over the cliff with blind faith without testing or maturing the so called " Green technologies " and go head long to our doom.
What I propose is to keep using the technologies what we have now to keep our country strong and viable, and develop new technologies to improve on our current oil, gas, coal traditional infrastructure,
and at the same time ?
While we use those traditional energy sources, keep developing, and improving on those renewables until they are mature and can viability power our country and not at the determent of our countries national security, or our national economy, jobs and our future.
Of course ?
That's to logical and smart for the liberal environmentalist wackos for their agenda is to drive America into the pit of doom.

I challenge any liberal or environmentalist here on Free Republic to come here and challenge that.

while the prices of wind and solar are falling and likely to continue to fall for the next couple years—I don’t think either are good for base load energy production —except in the southwest. and even they can’t go all that far until they have solved the intermittency problem. California is putting up a lot of solar but its expensive stuff compared to coal.

I don’t actually buy any of the carbon dioxide arguments of the leftists. I think that’s total BS.

I buy TBoone Picken’s arguement that fracked natural gas is an intermediary energy source. That fracked oil and gas in abundance in the USA will buy the USA time and money to develop the true 21st century energy sources that will be cheap plentiful safe and clean.

What those energy sources will be as yet is unknown. There are a lot of good candidates out there however. We’ve mentioned a few of the likeliest candidates.
