@johnbowers - Oh, I really like your debating skills. Please don't misunderstand me, fossil fuels are even worse. As Roland said a longer term solution would probably be some type of nuclear reaction. The by products are more easily controlled than all the CO2 and possible other side effects of even renewables. We can at least put it in a barrel and blast it into space if need be.

Bottom line is we should not stop investing in nuclear fusion research.
