I'm actually a strong proponent of alternate energy sources. I would love to see more nuclear and hydroelectric plants. Wind turbines are great where you have the real estate and prevailing winds to support them. Solar plants aren't bad out in the desert. There are many good reasons to pursue alternate energy sources without trying to dismantle our current infrastructure. By painting the energy issue with a "green" brush it is attempting to throw our biggest and strongest energy baby (coal) out with the bathwater. I think that article showed that there is no real benefit to the whole carbon credit scheme. And I think it rightfully shows that something like better insulation can be a far "greener" approach. I think that it is hugely important that we diversify our energy sources. I believe that making this a CO2/global warming issue muddies the water and will hinder the acceptance of alternate sources over the long term as the CO2/Global warming argument is disbunked.
