Ebell: Gore’s 10-Year Plan to Save the Planet

Gore’s 10-Year Plan to Save the Planet | OpenMarket.org
...The 10-year plan is commensurate with the threat, which threatens the survival of our country and of human civilization as we know it.

Whew! Well, I don’t normally drink carbonated beverages (at least not non-alcoholic ones) out of respect for the planet, but I think I’ll have a Coca-Cola with my sandwich. The fact is that utilities are having a hard time keeping up with population and demand growth building every kind of power plant they can — coal, natural gas, wind. Meeting all new demand in the next few decades just with renewables would be extremely difficult and expensive. Doing that and replacing all current coal and gas power plants in ten years is preposterous.
