Fossil Fuels vs. Green Energy: What's a Better Investment?

Green energy = dumb energy that is expensive and not controllable. And not available everywhere.
It makes no sense unless you live in the sunny southwest or one of the few windy areas of the country. The wind is not there when needed most at high peak usage in hot weather. And don't ask me to pay for your green energy. Switching to high efficiency gas plants (most of today;s gas plants are low efficiency - ~32-35% efficiency versus ~55% for modern combined-cycle gas fired plants), cleaner coal and a lot more more nuclear plants would make a lot more sense. Most of the so-called green projects are built with inferior junk and can't even begin to be competitive without heavy govt subsidies. Get real.
BTW, CO2 is good for plants and trees. They eat CO2 so if you want to regrow the world's jungles and rain forests more quickly, burn more fossil fuels. Thank you.
