We really could, if we made a Manhattan-project level effort, get all the energy we need from wind and solar. The main problem is that the wind doesn't always blow, nor does the sun shine every day, so we need ultra-large scale ways to store energy to draw on for those times. People are working that problem now.

That makes you ONE that isn't anti-nuke.

As far as saying CO2 is not a global warming gas that's just absurd.

My opinion is it's a close to insignificant warming influence .... there just isn't that much CO2 in the atmosphere.

That the atmosphere had plant starvation levels of CO2 during the last ice age is worrisome since there WILL be another ice age coming. We should hope the CO2 level in the atmosphere is higher then.
