There is also the basic fact that if the choice the public is offered is one between costly energy and frying the planet, most likely the planet will fry. Maybe not. Maybe the current generation is more righteous than mankind has been so far. But is that really something you want to bet the world on?
Re: Water. Two words: Nuclear desalinization.
You should know that India is a wind power pioneer, too, with almost 11 GW installed (nuclear: 4.12 GW). Suzlon even bought majority in a top German manufacturer (REpower). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
what can you say?
they're teaching grandmothers in india to install solar, maybe they can moonlight at westinghouse!
the bit about how inefficient it would be to harvest energy from the countryside too...
obviously a grid for their nuke nirvana would be worth installing, but empowering them off the grid, not so much.
concern trolling, poor planet, it's dying of coal fumes, what it surely needs now is to be bathed in radioactive rays, while declaiming how solar energy will pave the world with cement.
it beggars belief...like most topdown -is there any other kind?- capitalism. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
