The Green Energy Scam ... Enrich Gore and Company but Not Provide Energy

SEE HERE The bottom line is that all the most highly touted solutions to the "green energy" problem are not solutions at all. They are politely "scams" and swindles. TANSTAAFL was an acronym that Robert Heinlein made popular. "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch" and despite the desire of the green crew to claim there is, it just ain't so.

If solar isn't particularly cost effective then wind is simply off the charts entirely. We're talking comparable like 800% compared to the next most expensive alternative, oil. Clean coal would be far cheaper than either oil or gas. Nobody talks much about nuclear since they're all afraid of the boogie-man, but in fact nuclear is the cleanest of all the alternatives both from the point of view of environmental impact and expense. Much of what makes nuclear expensive is boogie-man generated fear-costs built into legislation. It's time to get some rationality into the process and not just wishful thinking.
