"economic alternate energy supplies are great - for their own reason ONLY!"

I have very important reasons for supporting them. I would prefer to pass on control of the planet to the next generation with a more sustainable future. I like things to be clean and prefer things like windmills to burning coal.

The reality is that we are getting better while much of the world is getting worse.

I saw recently that 85% of China's new electricity generation capacity is coming from coal. The country is rich even while the people are relatively poor. If ever there was a case study for a country that should whole heartedly embrace renewable energy it is China. Yet even the Kyoto treaty exempted them.
