text: Another strawman argument.  Shut down the oil industry today and we'd be freezing/roasting in the dark.  I am well aware of what is happening in the world of alternate energy and am optomistic that we will wean ourselves from using oil for transportation and electricity generation.  There are places in Texas that get free electricity at night because there is a glut of wind power that can't be stored at present.  That, too, will change as storage technology improves.  But in the meantime our modern world is dependant upon fossil fuels.  That is reality and all the blathering in the world won't change it.
