Reply #152: I agree she is goofy. But she has plenty of company

I made a point yesterday about everyone pushing for alternative renewable energy and all. The problem is no matter what the source of power you use you have environmentalists or some other special interest group or some f----g lawyers that find a fault with it.

Examples:
coal: I hear it is impossible to have clean coal, etc.
hydro: Kills fish, destroys wetlands, alters natural river flow, etc.
nuclear: Too dangerous, don't know what to do with waste nobody wants it in their back yard.
natural gas: Can't drill of course.
solar: Not in my desert, EMF from hi-voltage transmission lines kills people. (this one I believe).
wind: Kills bats, can't be in migratory bird areas, unsightly ruins our view, the changing shadows from the blades make you flip out or something and of course (not in my backyard).


So tell me just what are we supposed to do? I see countless posts on here pushing some sort of renewable energy and no matter what someone has a problem with it and think it is totally unacceptable. I would like to have a solar panel on the south facing side of my roof but it is just too cost prohibitive.
