When are we going to have more clean energy and stop using oil, coal, and other dangerous fuels?

When all of our water is polluted and all of our plants and animals are dead, I wonder if that will be the time people realize we can't eat or drink money.

    What is "clean energy"? You mean electric cars whose batteries are made with such toxicity that they have to be made overseas and shipped here (wasting tons of fuel)? And, those batteries only last about 5 years. Then we must dispose of them.

    You mean windmills? They don't provide enough energy and can not provide it consistently. They also last only about 10 - 12 years and harm the environment when you construct, deliver, and assemble them. And, even when the wind is blowing, we would have to cover most of the earth with windmills to provide sufficient electric.

    Solar? Same problem. They don't provide enough energy and can not provide it consistently. It would cover millions of acres. Where would the trees grow?

    Pray tell, what is your solution? Or, do you only live on dreams and wishes like most liberals? You love to complain, but have no realistic solutions.

    When Pigs fly…..which is about the same time the Libs will grow up and accept that Nuclear energy is the cheapest, cleanest, most efficient form of energy we’ve ever developed. Wind, solar and biomass are centuries, IF EVER, away from actually being viable.

    Piece at a time. Wind power will be cost effective in the intermediate future (5-10 years). I don't think solar ever will be.

    What are you talking about?

    ...all this hubbub about animals dying and water pollution and yet we are still thriving on this planet and so are animals.
