Simple:
There is big money in alternative energy, but only when it is being forced on people through government regulations and incentives. Alternative energy is (far) more expensive than traditional sources. If AGW is proven to be a farse, then there will be little incentive by energy companies to pursue such technologies in the near-term, and they will loose out due to lack of competition.
kowenicki -
It really depends on what is defined as "alternative". I am thinking they are referring to solar, wind and geothermal which are being pushed by most governments as what is needed to replace fossil fuels. On the other end, you have superior energy technologies like nuclear which are non-renewable, but certainly are much better than any other energy generation technique we have (plus we got fission in 30-40years!)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
