Buddy,

I’m from the school of thought that says, with respect to energy, “let’s do it all.” Renewables AND fossil fuels. There are places in the country (I live in one)where solar and wind just are not going to be a large part of the grid, but that does not mean that I disagree with Mr. Pickens. I’m a big fan of nuclear power, which means that I want to use a pickax on all those who protest nuclear power and pile on legal obstructions to stop nuclear power plants. In other words, I want those folks dead, because that’s the sentence they deserve for literally costing humanity lives, because they don’t like the idea of nuclear power plants feeding plutonium into DoD. The only thing I am very skeptical about right now, because it seems the laws of physics are against it (but the Californicate liberals who have big bucks massage their egos with it) is hydrogen power. If it takes 15 units of conventional electrical power to produce one unit of hydrogen power, that’s one helluva carbon footprint. But, hey, if folks want to continue to do research into hydrogen power, then by all means help yourselves. Just not on my dime.

We need to exploit our own fossil fuel resources. Put Pelosi and Reid up against a wall and give them a choice. They’ll back down. (I don’t literally mean a firing squad. Just politically.)
