We don't want to build more nuclear power plants (because they have the word "nuclear" in the name), they don't want to build more oil or coal-fired plants (because they put out icky stuff), they don't want any more hydroelectric dams built (because they make rivers less wild and scenic), and they don't want any more windmills built (because they're "condor cuisinarts")...but they still expect the damn light switch to work, and the bill to be nice and inexpensive.

And they don't want photovoltaics because making them uses icky chemicals and they don't want fuel cells because they have to get H2 from somewhere and don't forget about the Hindenburg blowing up...

*sound of C_G's head banging against desk*

There, I feel much better now. You've got it nailed, Poohbah.

I dunno. Maybe they expect illegal alien galley slaves to turn the generators.
