In reply to the discussion: Fracking. Are you for it or against it? [View all]Sancho
(9,072 posts)You should say that the US can go back to horse-and-buggy days or...
1.) transition to new energy sources with fracking (NG)
2.) transition to new energy sources with coal
3.) transition to new energy sources with oil
4.) transition to new energy sources with nuclear
Which of these are you for or against compared to the options?
???
Which of the above is possible starting today? Which of the above do the least "damage" to the world? Which of the above can be improved so they aren't so bad? Which of the above balance energy change with less loss of jobs? Which of the above gain international cooperation?
Assuming that there is some legal way to force the energy industry to do government's bidding...at this point I think that energy and economic plans to make the move to different energy sources are already underway. How can we encourage the process without turning out the lights?
