re: Massively expensive: "It properly fits the expense of rapidly reducing CO2 production."

When you are talking about renewable energy, you are talking about investment, not just expense. There is an amortized return on solar, wind and efficient vehicle investment. You have to look at the "free" energy after you make the initial investment, and the lowering of costs of the technology. Also the ROI from new industries; the jobs, the wealth creation. On the other hnd, oil is only getting more expensive to find, produce and refine.

re: Massively expensive: It might fit the costs of global warming, but its hard to know what they are.

If GW isn't a cycle, but a trend, it's not hard to figure that the "costs" to mankind will be huge.

But like I said, the economic and political benefits are more than worth the effort, without the GW issue.
