    <<To state that wind power cannot replace hydrocarbon
    burning is simply absurd. We really can do it all with
    renewables: wind, water and sun. Sure it would require
    a lot of costly infrastructure, but that is the beauty
    of capitalism: it gets things done. Right now, so much
    of our capital is idle, doing nothing but bidding up
    the prices of each other's homes to absurd levels, such
    as those seen in the Sillyclone Valley. Let's cut that
    nonsense and build something!>>

    We can't drive automobiles on wind and solar power as yet. This is despite
    the TV jourmalism of the local variety; who spout on about solar cars, for
    the last 35 years.

    Decent electric cars would do the job. Then we could use any generation
    method that we could dream up.
