And I also agree with you. There are way too many people on the extremes regarding this problem. I think we need to do something in case that our activities are causing harm though. I also believe action can be taken that make sense and can lead us to being less dependant for our power.

I have a couple friends in different households who have managed to remove themselves from the power grid by haressing both solar and wind to more than meet their power needs. However, doing that was far from free and it will take time to break even.

The technology is there and the more we work with it, the more affordable it will become. However, the financial aspect of doing so can upset many other delicate global balancing acts as well (political, governmental et al).

It is definitely an interesting period to be living in. It's also rather frightening in many ways. Caution is required on many levels...
