One of the biggest scammers in the solar energy business is BP Solar, one of those evil corporations. Solar energy sounds good but it doesn't work. If it worked, no one would be discussing nuclear energy, because nuclear energy is the subject of (unjustifiable) derision while solar energy is seen (inappropriately) as cool, sexy, blah, blah, blah.

I note that the environmental impact of solar PV electricity is three times as large as the environmental impact of nuclear power in the only place where the solar industry is even large enough measure: Germany.

Global climate change does not call for cute solutions that have putative availability in "20 years." Global climate change requires immediate solutions with immediately available and time tested experience. The world has well over 10,000 reactor-years of experience with nuclear power. The solar business - flush with hype and expectation - is still saying what it is "going to do."

I see no reason to confuse some people's desire for vague socialism with the energy disaster confronting us now.

I don't trust you on this, because I have absolutely no reason to do so.
