Here in the States, we have the executive branch using the IRS and the FBI to
go after enemies of the progressives. You have the vast expansion of the NSA
spying on the American people and indeed people worldwide. A statement by the
head of NSA was that "We are not spying to halt terrorists.." So what are they
spying for, our benefit? BHO has tried to pick tech winners but he cannot
change physics nor economics. Think Solyndra. You simply trust too much, or
despise non Statists too much. People want clean energy, there is just no new
tech to the dirty.
It's clear what to do. We continue to conserve power, convert to
sustainable power, and replace coal fired plants with nuclear as fast as
possible while continuing research on all promising power sources. The
problem is how to get this done. It's scope obviously requires government
level leadership and organization, but YOU exemplify the obstruction to that
with your Ayn Rand fear of government and dogmatic faith in 'free markets'.

Point taken. But I know that the progressive billionaires do advocate
switching off our current dirty, in exchange for promises of clean.
Promises, only, that is. Hydroelectric, isn't really solar, its
gravity, so we can call it gravity power.
How do you think the water gets up above sea level?
We should never subsidize nuclear, fossil fuels, or solar, because
they should stand or fall on their own.
So how will they be charged for the external costs they impose?
Its not the politics of it, its the physics of it. Right now people
are not using solar as a primary source of electricity because they
cannot, even though a majority would love to have it. It doesn't
provide enough and it cannot do 7 x 24. Nuclear has proven a disaster,
the way its conceived,
Didn't you read John Clark's post on the relative deaths per year due to
coal fired power plants vs nuclear plants? And he didn't even note that
we've never had a fatality due to any of those nuclear powerplants used by
the Navy and NASA (although the Russians have).
hence my urging to switch to Canadian Slowpoke reactors. But lets face
it, it will likely never happen. Shale gas has become the default
power as a result of no other alternatives. What do you suggest and
how much time do we have to replace the dirty and old, since, I take
you support AGW? So, what do we do?
