  I lay much of the blame on the corporate controlled media. They fail to accurately report the true state of the climate, of climate science, the changes that are needed, and the solutions that are already available. Instead they constantly repeat the denier's falsehoods. If the media did it's job, the people would be solidly behind a strong climate bill and congress would follow.On The real reason the climate bill is going to suck posted 5 days, 7 hours ago 29 Responses

  My solar panels did a good job of decreasing my electricity usage. Isn't that a techno fix? My electric car, combined with the solar, cut my fossil fuel usage way down. Isn't that a techno fix? That doesn't mean that every techno fix is a good one. There are a lot of different ideas out there. I don't think you can just categorically say that all techno fixes are good or all techno fixes are bad. The good techno fixes are certainly going to play a part in any solution to the global warming problem. Some behavioral changes are needed too, but I see some people putting forth the idea that we all need to go back to an 18th century lifestyle. That's not going to win over many converts.On Save us, [insert techno-fix here], you're our only hope! posted 1 week ago 7 Responses

  I just love my electric car. People don't realize just how great it is to not have to stop at a filling station. Every morning the car has a full charge and is ready to go. You really have to experience it to fully understand it. I have solar panels on my roof that power the car and partially power the house. You can't get panels for your roof that turn sunshine into gasoline! When this V2G technology is worked out, we are going to find that life is a whole lot better for everyone except big oil companies and middle east oil producing countries. If they are smart, they will start getting into the wind and solar business now.On The long and wind-powered road posted 1 week ago 7 Responses

  Bull. My electric car is plugged into a "lump" of solar panels, not coal.

  Hey Vinod, where can I buy those magic panels for my roof that turn sunshine into gasoline?

  Solar panel pricing is now under $4 a watt. Still more expesive than coal, but far cheaper than nuclear. If you add in the environmental cost of coal, then solar and wind are the clear winners for cheap, clean power.
