Crazy Conspiracy Month: Enviromentalists Secretly Hate Women, Gays, and Aborigines.

To me the choice is simple, we can prop up a cabal of brutal dictatorships that kill homosexuals, keep women as second class citizens, and don't care if they destroy the environment.

Or we can by our oil from Canada.

To be explicit, if you object to harvesting the Alberta oil sands you are an objectively misogynist, gay bashing, Gaia raping hypocrite.

;P

Even with a signifigant (100%) increase in efficiency the relative enrgy density of wind and solar power means that you'd have to pave most of the US with collectors in order to meet current energy demmands.

So you use wind and solar to add to the aggregate energy output.

Sure, which is the direction in which we are already headed.

It just annoys me when people push "alternative energy" as if it represents some all encompassing solution while also ignoring the practical engineering issues like storage, distribtion, and relative density of said energy sources.

People have no clue how energy density plays such a large part in all of this.

Hydrocarbons are popular because they have such a large energy density. If you had a battery that could go ounce for ounce with them you'd have a ready replacement for vehicle's hydrocarbon fuel.
