How about something that can actually fulfill our needs, like nuclear?
I would think after Fukushima and the 5.? earthquake near the Virginia nuclear plant people are having serious second thoughts. I was about 80 miles away and my walls vibrated intensely for about 15 seconds and I and several neighbors had cracks in chimneys, and one person’s chimney collapsed.
Regarding solar and wind versus oil and coal, a level playing field would be nice. However, the carbon fuels have about 100 years of government subsidies and benefits which gives them a major advantage. Either subsidies for all or free markets for all is the fair thing. For example, I know someone who sold a number of acres with underground coal. Once they realized that coal prices had gone down between the time they got the property and then sold it, they were able to take a nice little tax deduction rather than having to pay income tax on the sale. Then there are oil depletion allowances, etc.
