Most of the arguments I see
Most of the arguments I see "against" renewable energy are against GOVERNMENT FUNDING of it. Which I happen to agree with. I don't think government should pick and choose what gets funded. Didn't work for the Soviets, won't work for US either. As for the EV1, it was buried and dumped because it was not viable on the market. Period.
Renewable energy is not the end-all, be-all. EVERYTHING has a down side. I don't care what it is. The problem is, most of the EVangelists and "CO2 is evil" types are just as indoctrinated with their own propaganda as are the "Drill, baby, drill!" crowd.
