You might as well pray for a solution.

It totally ignores the realities of power consumption and power generation.

Let's make it real simple for you to understand.


Hoover dam - generates roughly 4 billion kilowatt hours a year.

US power consumption is roughly 4 TRILLION kilowatt hours a year.

See the problem?

Just wait till everybody has an electric car!


Sure George Jetson - that's going to happen.


Edit to add

4 trillion kilowatt solar = 17,500 sq miles of panels at $150,000,000 per square mile.

You writing the check?

It's a good push for serious action at least. No matter what option you go for, there's costs involved. But we can't afford to keep waiting. It this inaction that's behind why there is already environmental damage that is irreversible. We can't keep doing this forever.
