There's certainly something apocalyptic-looking about the picture used by this article, but I'd prefer these bad-boys to an oil-slick from a tanker or a ripped apart-hillside from a mine... My question to myself these days is a slightly negative one: Will all this renewable energy actually replace the non-renewable stuff on which we so desperately depend? Or are we just encouraging more use and glut in our energy consumption by simply increasing our capacity? I'm not going to feel better about things until there are no more plans to build coal-fired power plants.
