Sorry Greens, Fossil Fuels Are Here to Stay

Unfortunately its analysis like the above that will keep us mired in the fossil fuel conundrum. As long as we continue to justify the use of fossil fuels and support them with huge tax incentives and supports the longer we'll continue to find ourselves either dependent on foreign sources or we'll be destroying the environment exploiting them at home. Only when we decide that this oldparadigm is no longer valid and invest our resources in developing clean alternatives will we divorce ourselves of a technology that is destructive not only environmentally but socially and politically as well. Clean sustainable energy will revitalize our economy, our people and mostly it will return us to an independent and robust energy supply that's decentralized, renewable and without all the baggage associated with fossil fuels and nuclear energy. By developing and assisting in the deployment of these technologies we can lead the world to a new age of clean and peaceful energy. I'm afraid though that this will require inspired, forward thinking leadership and financial institutions that are willing to sever their dependency on a fossil fuel
economy.
