Fair enough. All I'm saying is that we need to look carefully at all aspects any energy production proposals, evaluate them in perspective, and be prepared to be flexible.
If we intend to stop poisoning our lungs, the atmosphere, and the climate, our energy policy going forward is going to have to include multiple systems -- solar; wind; tidal; geothermal; nuclear; carbon-recapture combustion; and probably at least a half-dozen more -- some kind of "smart" distribution system, and some serious attention to conservation.

Actually I think the planet is worth saving.
Not so sure about the people.
