Way off our usual topic, but in line w/our critique of selective science denial: Too many ppl confuse weather w/climate CHANGE. Study what's happening in the Arctic before you jeer at the US cold snap. Calling it "global warming" was a big mistake; sounds cozy and mild.
The only reason we're not there is that conservatives have gummed up what should be a bipartisan effort to accelerate research into alternative energy. All that's lacking is political will. Most citizens, right and left, would embrace that (see polls on the matter).

You seem to be forgetting science. Science puts definite limits on what technology can achieve. You seem to think if only govt poured dollops of money into laboratories, perfect solutions will pop out. I've been an engineer my entire adult life. it doesn't work that way.

Last comment in this thread (no point in more): Are you aware of the history of government support in the forum of subsidies, tax breaks, etc to the fossil fuel industry? No one is saying government CONTROLS energy direction. Just that it has an influence. Have a good day.
