See, we are essentially saying the same thing. It's just you have to realize that the technology isn't there yet. We probably should exchange all the coal and oil power plants, but that's gonna be extremely costly and will be compounded by the fact the the world's energy consumption keeps going up. So basically a few years after the new eco-friendly power-plant comes online, you gotta start the old-coal one back up too. This could even be economically devasting to a developing country (possibly even to a developed one), so it's not like it wouldn't hurt. Nuclear power would be great but instead of producing voluminous amounts of CO2 we'd produce nuclear waste, not to mention the general populous is irrationally afraid of nuclear power. Also most of the bio-fuels are simply manufactured hydro-carbons themselves and really don't help the CO2 problem. I'd like to see more solar power, hydrogen fuel cells, and nuclear fusion, these technologies could permit us to drop fossil-fuel combustion, but at the current time are not advanced enough to replace them. The bottomline is that technology HAS to become cost effective before people are gonna be ready to adopt it, and it isn't yet. But I agree it's stupid that we are pissing away all our fossil fuels, when their gone, their gone. We need to continue working on it, and we will. Just give it time, hopefully we still have time.
