<<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.
