I’ve said this before, but what difference does it make if the evidence is real or not? Doesn’t it make sense to promote, utilize, develop alternative fuel sources if for no other reason than significantly curbing our dependence on foreign oil? I’m surprised the Right isn’t on board with this. Climate change denying, IMO, is really about not wanting to create sustainable alternative resources and continue drilling or importing than about disavowing the science. It’s certainly seems to be a huge aspect.

Look, I thought we should have started producing/developing alternative fuel sources, wind, solar and electric during the Carter recession. Those of you who are old enough to remember the gas lines that stretched for blocks. In fact, if we had then, we’d be well on the road today and it would be affordable. Well, it’s not too late to start. In fact, it’s already begun. Most all major energy producing companies are focusing on wind and solar today.

I find it sad because it’s really an idea, policy, whatever, that both sides can agree to, maybe for different reasons, and work towards together.
