...one would have an ethical right to hold a discourse on the subject of energy and the environment.
Of course, one might not be a dumb anti-nuke cheering for the tearing up of the planet's surface and mobilizing hundreds of millions of tons of toxic materials to search for an expensive and useless chimera, so called "renewable energy."
On the other hand, if one has routine familiarity with fantasy worlds in TV shows, has wasted one's life on them, and has obviously scrupulously avoided any diversion of said wasted time on becoming educated, one has no ethical position whatsoever to comment on the environmental tragedy before us on this planet.
Despite half a century of stupid remarks about the "exponential growth" of renewable energy - all made by people who one doubts passed 11th grade math in high school and thus are unfamiliar with simple mathematical functions - despite thousands of insipid comments about "the world's largest solar installation," one right after another, and despite ever more stupid proposals for um, things like solar roadways being funded in a paroxysm of mindless lemming faith, the month just passed, December 2015 just came in as the worst December ever recorded in terms of the increase of the dangerous fossil fuel waste, carbon dioxide, as recorded over the previous December.
The worst ever...
It's very clear that the apologists for so called "renewable energy," invested as they are in their Saturday morning cartoon version of the world, the majority of whom I imagine zoned out stoned in front of their TV sets watching B and C grade science fiction, couldn't care less.
Very clear...

Enjoy the weekend.
