DISQUS

Where's the beef? I have never seen any proof that renewable energies create anything more than busy work. The problem with busy work is that it's very easy to see the jobs that result from those subsidies and regulations; it's less visible all the harm they do in preventing other jobs, steering investment into marginally if at all productive areas of the economy and other such things.

I do agree that this issue shouldn't be partisan. Just as importantly this issue shouldn't be about hyperbole. And calling it "... [the]most urgent problem humanity has ever faced" is the embodiment of hyperbole. If we want to see good public discourse on this subject we need to drop the drama and address the science. If we want to see good public discourse on this subject we need to deal with facts, not unproven claims. Thank you for calling for the end of partisanship on this issue. Unfortunately more is needed to improve the discussion.
