given the general
tendency of the public
to say "no" to wind farms
"no" to nuclear power, "no" to
tidal barrages - "no" to anything
other than fossil fuel power systems
i am worried that we won't actually get
off fossil fuels when we need to. instead
we'll settle for half-measures: slightly-
more-efficient fossil-fuel power stations
cars, and home heating systems; a fig
leaf of a carbon trading system; a
sprinkling of wind turbines; an
inadequate number of nuclear
power stations. we need
to stop the punch and
judy show & get
