"The road to [ solar power] hell is paved with good intentions" Grandma Honoragh and Karl Marx used to say.
The Obama energy plan falls into that category. We shouldn't put a straitjacket on our energy future. As Doug MacEachern suggests (AZ Republic 8/10), natural gas needs to remain an important part of that future. Take away natural gas, for example, and New England will freeze in the dark when winter rolls around. Just imagine what it will be like shoveling off the solar panels after one of those famous blizzards hits Boston. Sure new technology may make solar power practical, but new and practical alkylamine technology for CO2 removal is just as likely to make natural gas a completely clean fuel, and not just a "bridge to a renewable future."
