 or do we insist on massive investments in green/alternative forms of
energy. 

But Norm - there is NO SUCH THING as a benign source of energy!

The old phrase "play with fire and you get burned" has real physical
meaning.

You cannot manipulate energy with impunity.

I challenge you to pick ONE of you green forms of energy and REALLY
follow it cradle to grave and see what you get.

ALL of these forms of energy have been discussed here at one time or
another and positives and negatives have been cited.

Making them "green" is NOT a matter of money and engineering or will -
but thermodynamics!  They will NEVER be benign.
