Townhall.com::The Truth About "Alternative Energy"::By Roy Innis

Alternative energy sources may not be so cheap though I agree we should make the effort to develop some new ones.

Quote:
Power plants fueled by coal are far less polluting than 30 years ago. Just since 1998, their annual sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions have declined another 28% and 43% respectively, according to air quality expert Joel Schwartz – and new rules will eliminate most remaining emissions by 2015.
By the way we have several hundred years supply of coal that remains untapped?

By 2020, the United States will need 100,000 megawatts of new electricity, say EIA, industry and utility company analysts. Unreliable wind power simply cannot meet these demands.

Wind farms require subsidies and vast stretches of land. To meet New York City’s electricity needs alone would require blanketing the entire state of Connecticut with towering turbines,
Solar power may be OK for local use but is it practical for larger power generation?


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
