“Family business on my side, relative in upper echelons of the industry” to that I say: BFD!

I do know this: if green energy were economically viable on a large scale (or really any scale), that’s what would be powering my house and car instead of gas and oil.

Alternative energy will not make a serious dent in our oil, coal or gas consumption in my lifetime or anyone else’s on this board.

Most electricity in this country is still generated by coal – and we have plenty left right here in the USA.

FYI: I am not a republican, just someone with “common sense.”
