5. An apt criticism of natural gas dependent "renewable energy" schemes, perhaps?

Hybrid natural gas / solar / wind schemes will not save the world. But for now there is money to be made. People still BELIEVE.

Germany is facing a long cold winter with inadequate gas supplies. A warmer winter of intense storms, a consequence of increasing carbon dioxide levels, could be even worse.

Dependency on natural gas was always a bad idea, especially Russian natural gas.
