Signal to Noise

I had somebody inadvertantly suggest to me that even though solar and wind power offer only a fraction of the efficiency of nuclear, oil, and especially coal-fire, an abandonment of those technogies in favor of “renewables” is in order.

Just what we need — to pay 5x more for an even scarcer supply of energy because the production is more expensive and the yield is tiny. Hmph.  We talk so much about Green.  Why aren’t we talking about the Green that creates jobs and pays bills?  “Renewable” energy is vastly wasteful of that very Green.
