***** Solar and wind technology rely on materials mined from the earth using diesel excavators. THen those goods are shipped around the world by diesel ships, trains and trucks. Probably to a factory powered by Coal in China, because activists in the 70's drove up the costs of Nuclear energy...then those goods get transported back to consumers, who don't have enough money to buy them because you just used your activism to kill the fossil fuel industry, that helped set this whole thing in motion.
Please grow up, realize that all technology relies on each other, and until we get past that hump, we need fossil fuels. Carbon taxing them, or regulating them drives up the costs, and makes it harder for you and I to afford 'green' technology. I'm looking to buy a solar roof right now, I can get down to $2/watt. ...I want to see a day when its $0.10/watt. That will come via capitalism, and less govenrment interaction in a global economy, so people like you and I can usher in this technology and live by example.
