Who ever heard of a NEWS item with no date!

Did I miss it?

I give. My suggestion to the solar and wind advocates that they invest their entire life savings and all future free cash in solar and wind companies in order to become incredibly wealthy, thereby enabling them to fund FreeRepublic on their own.

I further suggest that they fill their cars up with wind and solar fuel, so as to drive to the bank and collect all that money they will be rolling in.

When they choose to fly off to some exotic island to enjoy their well earned vacation, I hear that the latest solar and wind powered planes are most comfortable.

If either live in a state which gets a little cold in the winter, or one in which the sun doesn't shine 24 hrs a day, or the wind doesn't blow 24 hrs a day, well then, I'm certain they won't mind the inconvenience of freezing, or conversely, if living in a hot climate, won't mind sweating all day.

I also shudder to think of all the fossil fuel used to create electricity to power their computers to chat about a utopian future which will never come to pass.
