"In fact, most of the US has already made up their minds that we need to move to renewables fast. So those Dems are a reflection of most Americans. "

Be very careful with the text above. You are introducing a second issue. Moving to renewables is a totally different issue than GW. Why? A move to renewables will/can be a progressive event where when the supply becomes available it replaces or supplements existing (helps supply the demand growth). GW alarmism is all about trashing the existing without having a reliable replacement.

It is very important to this debate that the distinction is made. Those of you who are alarmists on GW need to stay on GW and the numbers associated with your proposed policies.

I use the words idiocy and fools and liars in this discussion for deliberate effect. The policy of huge percentage reductions is idiocy - it is plain and simple stupid and not possible without an economic train wreck. I use the word fools to be charitable. Being charitable we can assume the alarmists are simply misguided - the reality may be far worse.

The popular group think on GW needs to be challenged and challenged strongly. This is not a parlor debate.
