Guardian: Global riot epidemic due to demise of cheap fossil fuels

[cprise]

5. I didn't say they were 'vile'

And I'm not placing you into any dualistic good/evil frame (though I sometimes wonder about *your* own framing, with the way you react to some of the pro-renewables people).

When you veer off into the 'economics uber alles' shtick, however, its clear there is hubris associated with a vision of market-based renewal (or one that is as naive as yours).

You didn't so much make a point, because you offered nothing to back it up.

As for who gets credit for moving people off fossil fuels, I'll stick with entities that have borne the lion's share of successful research, thank you. NREL, Fraunhofer Institute, etc.

Anyway, I am constantly supporting stuff that you and others post on here. If you can't take even this much backtalk then there is something worryingly oppositional about YOU.
