RE:RE:RE:RE:Solar vs Oilmerimat...
This is why I am bullish on natural gas.
While there is a lot discussion right now about renewables such solar and wind being intermittent energy suppliers, there is a small but growing lobby that is starting to talk about the environmental damage caused by these forms of energy - eg birds being killed, desert animals/reptiles having their habitat destroyed. As these facts become more well known there could be a course correction away from these forms of energy production.
The main alternatives are natural gas and nuclear. While nuclear IMO is the best alternative, there is still a stigma attached to it which needs to be overcome. In the meantime, this leaves natural gas.
