am listening to a vid as I write this. So far I can say I am in favor of wind and solar. I live off of solar part of the month when I travel to another city in our RV. So I have seen it work and am thankful for the savings. As I indicated I am more interested in cleaning up and teaching people (or reminding them) how to do alternatives. The incentive is always cost. You can lead a horse to water etc. For me the climate change being man made is still a question and not one that I have resolved. I was raised by an older generation (great-aunt) and feel I have a little more than knee jerk perspective. For instance she spoke of how many of her relatives were convinced Hailey's Comet foretold Armageddon.
I do believe climate is changing and figure it's more productive to emphasise what to do to prepare. If we could convince our conservative friends of just the truth that it is happening, damn the why, that would be a major accomplishment for planet earth.
