There are three ideas being promoted in discussions about combating global warming that I continue to be suspicious of — green hydrogen production, carbon capture (with the exception of trees and other natural solutions) and nuclear power. I have a hard time imagining anyone really wants to pursue these ideas who isn’t propelled by some ulterior motive (ultimately our favorite motive, the profit motive.) If you are not engaged in the present energy economy in more than just a consumer role the arguments made in favor of these ideas seem thin and wishful to the point of dishonesty.
Next time you hear or read one of these voices do a quick background check to find out who they are and who they speak for. They certainly don’t speak for me and I don’t think they speak for the honest reality of the global situation we all face together.
