It's naive to demand a binary "no tolerance" stance on (coal) pollution rather than the more reasonable and safer method of managing a problem. But causing electricity shortages is a sure fire way to change the politics on the issue. People will start hanging the greens from trees after people start dying during summer brown outs or losing heat during the winter. If people (voters) aren't smart enough to figure it out now...they will as soon as they lose a stable electric system. It's self correcting, politically speaking. The greens need to balance the role that electricity plays in the health and well being of all people...not just some narrow view that only considers the bad. In the long run...energy is going to trump the greens naive worries because we must have it, and the green's methods simply do not work in the real world.
