There are a lot of silver BBs, tho,and lots of them will require political mobilization. How many BBs does it take to compensate for a nuke, the nuke being the coal China is burning as fast as it can get it out of the ground? More than we've got. Germany had the political will to commit to green a number of years ago, and they are replacing all their nukes with windmills. Did they do that explicitly to stop global warming? Sure, it's compatible with that objective but mostly we go green because of local, not global, implications. We take steps to keep streams and lakes clean. We might think as broadly as an ecosystem, like the Chesapeake. Getting one state to take steps to save another state from acid rain is harder. Getting China to quit using coal is impossible.
