The idea of green energy is attractive. Yet it's impossible to avoid reality, try as we might. All technological advancements are a compromise between ideas and reality. Once that is accepted, some realistic energy options can be developed. As long as we operate on fantasy disconnected from reality, no actual green energy will ever be produced.
Half of the proponents are too stupid to realize this, and the other half is extremely eager to take peoples money and happily keep their mouth shut. The rest of us are just helplessly outnumbered collateral damage.
