Wind turbines and solar panels in and of themselves aren't bad things. I actually support them. We're currently building an outbuilding on our property and plan to hang solar panels on the roof, as a matter of fact.

But they're aren't, and never will be, the be-all, end-all that the greenies and their left wing enablers go on about them.

I don’t know a single person who thinks they are the “be all, end-all”. What they are is a part of the mix of energy sources that are needed to keep a vibrant economy humming, and which lessen our dependence on any single energy source, as our experience in the 1970s demonstrated how dangerous it is to allow the economy to be over-dependent on one form to the exclusion of another.

PS: It seems we’ve managed to make ourselves reliant on Russia for uranium. Maybe not such a great idea.

PPS: We are reliant on China for the production of solar panels.
