See, this is a great example of the DISHONEST discussion ongoing with the environmental activists, their progressive political supporters and media enablers. Anything “Green” has no critical analysis. ONLY potential upside is considered with no apparent knowledge (or curiosity) about the potential DOWNSIDE of so called “clean energy.” Meanwhile, we have NO CAPACITY to consider the myriad of BENEFITS that have been bestowed on modern civilization by fossil fuels. The focus (solely) is on the negative impacts. Most complex challenges have a host of “trade-offs.” Until we can start having an honest conversation about the realities of energy imperatives and attendant environmental protections, we will continue to engage in DUMB policy making.
