I don't follow you. I was being silly about methane, and explaining some
genuine drawbacks of wind. You announce they are the growing-est. Great
for them--vote with your wallet.
Then you lose me. Things cost what they cost. Costs change over time. I
don't want a methane powered car badly enough to build one. I like
sailboats a lot, but they're very expensive, specialized vehicles.
Ground-floor apartment dwellers in tightly-packed suburbs don't get to
put up windmills, no matter how much they want to. That's real world
stuff too. You don't have to visit Tomorrowland. You don't have to ride
in one of the Mad Hatter's teacups, either. I am selective about "early
adoption", or I try to be. YMMV. Groovy, it's a big planet.
I am not trying to offend you, but you seem to have taken offense.
Puzzled,
MMB
