I agree that the downsides of “green energy” should be researched. Let’s just make sure we’re not doing it to somehow prove that there isn’t a need for green energy.

Continuing with oil production without looking into alternatives is certainly a mistake. Whether or not there are downsides to green energy still doesn’t address the problems that an oil dependent economy poses.

Perhaps one green alternative that is foolproof is for everyone to consume a little less, buy locally, recycle (and by that I don’t just mean thowing your plastic bottles in a recycling bin but actually reusing materials) and do what they can to make less of a global footprint.

all energy is the same, the waste that each type generates is the only difference…
