Use less energy and pay a fee for doing so.

There are days when the wind doesn't blow. Then, there are those pesky clouds. And, the last time I checked, the sun does not shine on the parts of the earth turned away from the sun. It's called night time.

You have no idea how solar energy systems work do you? Perhaps you should do minimal study to at least not make more foolish statements.

Actually, I am a believer in what God says about being a good steward of our home and our resources. Sacrificing our world in the name of industry is not a positive thing, nor is it progress. We can have both...taking care of our land, water and air...along with a vibrant and robust economy.

It seems that "earth is warming" alarmists ignore the fact that all of these alternative energy technologies will in them selves cause further pollution of the environment in the manufacturing of the devices necessary to collect the sun and wind energy.

It reminds me of the geodesic dome craze that was supposed to save timber in the building of dome houses rather than the traditional houses. The not mentioned little fact was that those little domes required prime grade lumber unlike the less than prime grade used for building conventional houses. In the end the little domes used up more trees in the effort to obtain the prime grade lumber required.

Then there is the mercury light bulbs that harm the enviroment more in their manufacture than they save in energy reduction. Chinese workers in mercury lightbulb factories are being slowly posioned to death so that the global warming crowd can feel better about themselves.

But in the end the global warming crowd gets to feel all righteous and superior even though they are doing more harm than good.

Feelings over substance.

Really? The wind is going to stop blowing? The sun is going to burn out soon? Funny, I hadn't read about those.

I guess an intelligent conversation isn't going to happen with you.

"Windmills don't produce enough energy to make windmills..." Ann Coulter

Also, it would behoove you to do a little research on the minerals mined to make solar panels, and the chemicals used to treat them, and the fact that even the most expensive panels come with only a 25 year warranty.

Yup. Unsustainable. But then again, libbies are only interested in the idea, not the outcome.

Charging me a fee for conserving on energy would only cause me to use MORE. I would figure that I might as well get what I'm paying for.

Let's not forget to mention the ethanol lie, which staved third-world citizens, and polluted the Chesapeake bay.

Hardly. What is wrong with developing clean energy and the jobs that go with it. Things like wind, solar, and others.
One of the fastest growing industries in Americas now is wind energy. The utility companies are dumping loads of money into it. A wind energy company I know about went from about 700 employees to around 1200 in one year. Europe is way ahead of America in conservation in terms of energy usage their buildings and curbing waste. If one goes to a construction site in America and also in Europe he will see there is a huge difference in the amount of waste being hauled off.

lets see, use less energy becasue of global warming, means they get less money from you becasue you used less energy to be charged for,, so the logical next step is to tax to make up for the money they lose becasue you use less energy.
yeah, makes real sense to me.

Europe allows it'self the use of nuclear power plants.

We have some too. One was built a few miles form where I once lived about 1978. It is still online. When 911 came there were planes and helicopters all around the plant

But a nice passive-aggressive personal attack.
IOW, I don't believe in global warming, but I do.
