Brad,



>>not trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater!



That depends on what the metaphoric baby is…



>>I do think you're choice of "burn coal or freeze or roast" is no longer warranted-By using electricity efficiently and super-insulating, by next season I'll be able to go off the grid totally with a solar photovoltaic system -yes it will take a few years to pay for itself, but once it does I'll be sitting pretty....lots of other folks already have, especially here in Texas.



This is simply choice Brad…



Yes, this technology works for small applications but not for cities Brad (therefore impractical for the entire nation)…I hope you live in a large city as, once the biosphere reserve program is fully in place…You’ll have to move…But fear not, you can always donate your home and land to the Nature Conservancy for a tax deduction that will not pay off your mortgage…You may have wasted your money here…



Later,

Jim.
