today is not just enormous, it is critical. Experienced observers suggest that
we have just ten years to cut our carbon emissions by 80 percent at the same
time that they project the demand for energy will double. It is not enough to
reduce waste. The solution is to double the capacity of the energy we derive
from non-fossil fuels. But the capital expenses for round-the-clock sources of
this “green” energy are enormous, while projections for savings are
often too far off to be compelling.</span></font></p>

political issue, it is a scientific issue. Mother Nature is something we have
not yet conquered.”</span></font></p>
