>>I don't claim any knowledge of energy technology. If they're the best way to get energy, then by all means use that technology as new sources are built. Just don't immediately convert everything to that technology thinking you're going to stop the global crisis if it;s as described by the extreme proponents.<<

Karen -

Well there you go. We've reached a point of agreement.

Nobody that I know of is suggesting that we convert all existing power generation to solar or wind plants overnight. What I'm hearing, and what I'm advocating, is that since we need additional capacity, it makes more sense to use green technologies to add that capacity. We can phase out other power sources when we have enough capacity from the green sources to do so.

It's a win-win.
