6. What has meaning to a person is wholly dependent on who one is.

If it doesn't mean anything to you, I understand perfectly, even if it means a great deal to me.

Although I'm pleased to be known for my views on energy which I think, for which I would choose to be known - even among people with whom I am not acquainted - I would note that all energy is "alternative energy."

As in most things in life, some alternatives are better than others, and through some effort my views on what is the best alternative are clear enough.

The alternatives chosen by humanity as a whole are poor alternatives, in my view, as is reflected in the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the rapidly degrading planetary atmosphere.

For the week ending December 3, 2017 we're at 406.76 ppm CO2

I'm not sure if that means anything either to you, but if it doesn't, or if it does but sounds like Schadenfreude on my part, I can't help it.

Have a nice Sunday afternoon and evening.

Did you see the bit where Galileo insulted the Pope? Fortinbras Armstrong Dec 2017 #11

And, your point is what? NNadir Dec 2017 #12

My point is that Galileo was not the all-glorious hero that you want to pretend he was. Fortinbras Armstrong Dec 2017 #13

This determination on your part is unbridgeable. NNadir Dec 2017 #14

Yes, Galileo was a great scientist Fortinbras Armstrong Dec 2017 #15
