So let me get this straight (tirade sparked by poster(s) in Metro).

Coal is filthy....gotta stop that. (by the way the poster showed a woman and child that looked like a couple of Mary Poppins chimney sweeps)

Nuclear is unsafe..unstable..unthinkable, besides that the manatees will boil(?)

Wind power is clean, but I don't want to see the mills, maybe they can go underground? Besides that they may chop up migratory fowl and my cellphone microwave link.

Solar is ok...unless you live in Washington state, but right now I don't have any electricty to make any more....and aren't those plastics used in those???

Hydro....great, now I gotta find a river!....which by the way I can't live near since the insurance industry won't cover me with the rising water levels!

Tidal motion of the ocean...see previous insurance statement.

Methane...cow flatulance is burning a hole in the ozone...guess that's out.

Wood...well then I'm deforesting and reducing the processing of CO2 into O2, and the smoke I produce will block the sun for my neighbor's solar panel.

Corn,Sugar cane or other renewable resource...It takes more energy than it produces. Not to mention what the price of grain products will be and apparently this solution is worse than driving a coal-fired Stanley Steamer.

I could rub balloons on my head to generate a charge....but what do I do with it other than stick it on the ceiling?

So that leaves us with the option of becoming Yemen...
