7. Fine, kristopher, you are correct.

But the issue was whether we should put solar panels on all rooftops. That clearly won't work here in the national forest, no matter how much the sun shines.

More than anything my objection here is that there is one universal solution. That clearly is not so. Iceland uses geothermal power. The SW USA has solar. The mountain passes in CA have wind. And yes, Germany is using solar. But Germany is not the USA, which spans a large continent. So the comparison to Germany is not exactly analogous.

There's nothing I would like better than if the USA poured billions into sustainable carbon-free energy infrastructure implemented with an open, multifaceted and forward looking energy policy where both large scale projects with proven technologies and basic research take no back seat.

That's how one solves this issue. In other words, I think it is naive to think that there is a single solution.

Always enjoy your responses, even though we don't always agree, my friend. You usually make good points.
