"It's Not Easy Being Green..."

 

Europe has discovered that being green isn't isn't economically viable at this time. 

 

Opening comments from friends:

 

Apparently the Euros have realized that their wonderful green energy experiment is a disaster.  Now, if only we would learn from the Euros that (1) Socialism does not work and (2) Green Energy is a farce.

There is an awesome ted.com talk by a British scientist who had been part of the climate change office in one of the government ministries. He goes through the data to show how much of the UK land space would actually be required for all the trendy alternative energy sources to even meet today's demand let alone match increased population/demand (compared to the minimal footprint for nuclear). At one point he randomly shows half of Ireland taken up to grow biomass for biofuel for Britain. Funny!!

Let's hope the laughs continue--before we follow the Eurozone's economic debacle.
