They are too intermittent and mostly off. Solar voltaic has dropouts in mid day, Wind produces around 20% of nameplate power and sometimes nothing for a month. The only non-carbon source of energy that actually works is nuclear. See http://BraveNewClimate.org Look at "modular" meaning factory built, nuclear. http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf33.html Does 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour seem high? How about install in 2 weeks?

I did not know about this report or the lock in issue of carbon. I guess our oceans are no longer able to act as carbon sinks. Thank you for your insightful and informative perspective.

Your article Meltdown was what we all need to hear and do. Its as simple as that focus on our areas and people. Remember victory gardens our parents were children then but I hope to see a rebirth in the concept. I also live in the Pacific Northwest with lots of water and good soil and potiental to be self sufficient if needed. It is a possibility. I worry about my family in arizona if the water dries up they will be in a Mell of a Hess. Anyway Thank you for such a clear and the right thing to do article. Blessings to and your family.
