A Sobering Assessment of Energy Alternatives

SEE HERE I have a lot of respect for John Stossel. I think he's a straight shooter and when he says something I believe that at least he believes it. That being said this is an important read since it does call into question most of the mantras both left and right are chanting about energy. It's interesting that it takes on nuclear power on the grounds of expense and most of the other energy sources on the basis of inefficiency. This of course means not that there are no energy solutions, but that none of the energy solutions are silver bullets. Long term energy is a significant issue and all the talk about wind, solar, and nuclear may just be so much hot air.
