I am not a creationist and neither are 10’s of millions of other’s just like me. We listen to scientists. We hear that. It’s when the solutions offered up come into play. You think that taxing the sh*t out of business is no big deal. Punitive taxes on energy will cost everyone in this country…and not just monetarily.

Don’t confuse science with your politics. They are not one in the same. And, plugging up your ears and eyes to that fact will not make your solutions any better. I reject the idea that we must give up our prosperity to solve this problem.

So do I. Our prosperity could and should lie in solar and wind and storage tech - all exportable. It should lie in pocket nuke reactors. I don’t believe the carrot works when the bottom line only looks 30 months out. Either the corporate time horizon for ROI must start looking 10 years and more out, or the stick needs to be brought into play.
