Major Corporate Shift to Solar Energy and LEDs

GH,, Pls don't be intentionally obtuse

My facts are all dicumented, not in dispute, and materially correct

1)Its a wildlife preserve by declaration only, ie one could declare a Bar in Gary Indiana a wildlife preserve, and while the declaration would exist, it has NO meaning in nature.
2)Barren = NO PEOPLE , no one ever goes there either. How many people do you know that have actually been up in ANWR? Better to drill there in the middle of nowhere than to attempt to drill in Gary
Indiana.
3)No MATERIAL radiation release by 3 mile island, no deaths, no injuries. 3 Mile Island produced less atmospheric radiation than one would get by hanging out in direct sunlight for 8 hours.

Those are facts jack!

GD tree huggers, turn off your lights, stop heating your houses, stop cooling your houses, stop driving cars,flying in airplanes, eating delivered food. Stop complaining about the price of petroleum products. THEN come tell me about GD ANWR

To CT PRogrammer: Apparently some people -you perhaps? - never knew what happened at 3 mile Island. - too young perhaps?

FYI: The facts of the matter are that ALL 3 mile Island safety Systems worked and functioned exactly as they were designed to function. The net result was that the reactor shut down (technically standby mode), there was NO RELEASE of ANY radiation of any kind in the 3 Mile Island shut down. No one was killed, maimed or otherwise injured. And Nuclear power continues it safety record = 100% = no release of radiation or deaths through out the Western World.

Chernobyl was/is of a Soviet design, and of course the U.S.S.R. was/is not included in the Western World.

Those are the facts.

Meantime look up how many people (workers) are killed,injured each year in the mining of coal, production of gas and oil. Look it up, you will perhaps be amazed.

At this time (2008) The U.S. should be producing 40% of its electrical needs thru Nuclear power, France is, we are not.
Because the environmental no nothing luddites who rely on the popular press (ie Time and Newsweek and National Enquirer, sic) for their so called Science (sic) cried and moaned and groaned their way into this current energy crisis by forcing the U.S. to decide Nuclear power was politically an unacceptable solution.

So read up on 3 mile island, call a spade a spade. You can still be against nuclear power, but don't use a falsity in support of your argument. It merely diminshes the credibility of the argument you wish to make.

IMO Solar is by far a superior solution, and eventually it will be mandated for residential and commercial roofing (tiles) as well as water heating, This will go a long way to reducing the amount of oil,coal and natural gas we use/need for residential heating.

Had the U.S. drilled in ANWR 10 years ago, we'd have that on stream today and this marginal problem would not exist. Remeber another word for "pristine" is "barren" and that part of the world is indeed barren.

good luck to you

My response to User 184319 follows,

Dear luddite,

As a scientist with various degrees and advanced degrees from Univ. of Il., Northwestern University, and Harvard. I know that it is not necessary for me to provide references to ANY resource in an attempt to disprove a negative ie "Man made Global Warming does not exist"

Rather it is up to the proponents making the false assertion to provide clear and compelling scientific data and PROVE their assertion that "man made Global warming does exist"

To date the luddites and ALGORE's minions have failed to do so.

And User 184319 - what exactly are your Scientific credentials AND what are the sources upon which you rely for your silly assertions and false notions "National Enquirer and Time magazine"

Remember, the old conman's adage. "The mark never realizes he is the mark and being played the fool until the scam has been successfully concluded, and the foolish mark has been fleeced"

PShaw to you sir.

BTW T BOONE PICKENS has a $1MILLLION dollar offer outstanding to ALGORE. Pickens has offered to pay ALGORE $1M Bucks if ALGORE can provide ONE single solitary proof of the claims in his fictional diatribe. The proof to be accepteed and affirmed by a panel of distinguished scientists.

So far ALGORE has kept his mouth shut and not responded to the $1M offer.

Personally I think ALGORE has spent to much time sitting too close to Tipper Gore -she is HOT! - and so ALGORE came to the conclusion the Earth is warming.

Go ahead submit your scientific proof of man made global warming.- no anecdotes, no stories from National Enquirer.

Every month , the Sun pours onto the Earth more energy than mankind has used through out the history of homo sapiens. (total solar energy as measured in ERGS and watts and btu's)

IMO Global warming is a political scam, the latest Luddite tulip craze
designed to enslave us to the U.N. by transfering economic wealth and power from the U.S. to the 3rd and 4th world thru the U.N.

Food to gasohol is another luddite fallacy that - a sheer stupidity that costs more energy to make than it produces and has major impacts on all other food inputs. (ref the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics). The dumb/a politicians have been sold a bill of goods, see an opportunity for another power grab, and ALGORE is running around like a chicken with its head cut off yelling "the sky is falling" because he sees an opportunity to make lots of money! - the worst kind of charlatan.

Solar power, harnessing the Sun, along with Nuclear and geothermal and wind energy will be our technical salvation. With Solar in the pre-emininent role.

The Chinese know it = STP = a China play and a solar play.
The Germans and Spanish know it = ESLR = a major European play.
The Icelanders know it.

I've been in - and out - of Solar stocks for many years. The long term trend is now definitely Up Up and Away!!! Profitability is just around the corner, and now "social consiousness" will frost this cake and I am firmly convinced Solar is the best investment vehicle of the next 20 years.

The politicians will have to figure out how to "Tax the Sun" in order to put a stop to it. And that will take them a long time to do!!
