Isn't it worrying when so called experts think something will work and it has the opposite effect, fracking comes to mind. Save us from these mad scientists.

luckycatfay, I fail to see the connection, except for methane. And I have yet to see a truly viable option. Wind is inconsistent, kills thousands of birds, and are hideous when you're driving across the countryside and, instead of a beautiful landscape of nature, you see giant windmills spread across the ridge line. Worse, once you pass that ridge line, you see thirty times as many windmills on the other side. But you probably don't want to hear that, so "absolutely! You're analogy is spot on!"
