Reply #9: One nuclear meltdown in New England and the Eastern half of [View All]

the U.S. would be uninhabitable for 200,000 years, not to mention the nuclear waste disposal problem.
Nuclear is too dangerous.

One 1.5 MW wind turbine in a good location will supply the energy needs for 300 homes. For those 300 families wind is a viable solution.

Geothermal, wave, tide, ocean current and solar combined will make a big dent in the demand for oil.
If , for example, the total renew-ables contributions were to equal 20% of the energy needs. That reduction in the demand for oil would cause a huge drop in oil prices.

The renew-ables don't have to carry all or even most of the load. They need to take to pressure off of the oil demand, to break the monopolistic stranglehold now controlled by big fossil fuel providers.

Note that I've said nothing about "roses and Sunshine", either literally or figuratively.

My agenda is to try to promote what seems best of the human race.
