This is a reply to # 927,127"Building enough wind farms, damming adequate number of rivers and growing sufficient biomass to produce ample kilowatts to make a difference in meeting global energy demands would involve a huge invasion of nature, according to Jesse Ausubel, a researcher at the Rockefeller University in New York."
Is it just me or does anyone else detect a problem with a negative report on renewable energy originating from a University that bears the name of the family that is synonymous with Big Oil and depends on oil revenue for a big portion of their money?
Maybe you cannot meet all of the energy needs from renewable sources without radical upheaval - but much of the rest of the world seems to be doing a good job of meeting a significant portion of their energy needs through renewable and green energy sources alongside energy conservation. And there is a lot that could be done even in super-crowded New York City to help reduce energy use and utilize renewable energy short of using "an area the size of Connecticut" (I would suggest Jersy, instead! lol) . There may be a shortage of land for solar and wind devices, but there is no shortage of rooftops.
For some other ideas take a look at:
Aligning New York for Renewable Energy Action http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=49165
Every kilowatt of renewable energy from wind, sun, geothermal, biomass, etc., and every kilowatt of energy we save by conservation (and we are by far the most gluttonous energy hogs on the planet) is a kilowatt that does not come from oil or coal and a kilowatt whose production and use entails much less pollution.
In many instances it will also be a kilowatt of energy that does not line the pockets of the Rockefellers.

my parents taught me from a young age...remember the golden rule, the one with the gold makes the rules. it is all well and good that people want to save the planet. BUT, it seems it is mainly those who never would have messed it up in the first place.

I believe this article is an attempt to scare us into "just sticking with what we use now, fossil fuels", but i didn't read it all....

Yes, there are problems with some"reneewables", but those options are not what enviros are calling for.
"Bio-fuels" are the most carbon-intensive fuel today!! Anything GW Bush gets involved in is bad for the planet it seems.
read more about that from G Monbiot in his book HEAT
As for the renewable energy forms of solar and wind, those are what we need now, to reduce carbon emissions from our demands for energy. It must begin soon and go hard because we have wasted 15 years now.
This article you offered up is not right tho - they even complain about wind farms and the problems of them despite the fact that they are the LEAST problems, and gives us clean energy - coal plants are worse, natural gas electric plants are worse,biofuels are worse, hydro-dams are worse. etc etc.
Monbiot explains that more than enough energy for us could come by putting solar panels across about 20% of the great deserts of the world. That would not be a problem comaprable to global warming, or coal fired power plants, but hey this article compains about that too.

that figures. it really doeasn't matter how much we try to save the planet, the big corporations and gov't have only money in mind. they will respond to our consumer needs only. if it makes them a profit, they will help the environment. that presents many problems.
