Time to vent... ... ...

As far as we know, this is the first time man has inhabited this planet. If he was here ‘before’, he didn’t leave an owners manual so we’ve pretty much had to figure things out as we go. Over all, I think we’re doing pretty well as a species.

Yes, we have screwed a few things up – Some irreparably. This is what happens when you fly by the seat of your pants. Good Judgment comes from experience – Experience comes from Bad Judgment.

We now have a situation where in some cases we must choose the lesser of two evils. Ideally, I would choose to live without Nuclear Power and LNG. That’s just not practical.

Nuclear Power and Liquid Natural Gas are in the grand scheme, two of the cheapest and potentially plentiful energy sources available to us in the 21st century. Dollar for dollar they deliver more energy per buck / acre of land than anything else we have. Solar, wind, and soybeans are just not going to keep the lights on.

And, it doesn’t matter what you do, the tree huggers are going to bitch until the lights are off permanently, then they’ll bitch because they don’t have any lights.

Ask for Nuclear, they bitch about the waste, LNG the potential danger, wind farms are unsightly as are solar farms. I’m just sick to death of these Anarchists whining about everything and offering solutions to nothing.
