[QUOTE="AER244, post: 4110796, member: 48618"] Admittedly, I likely have an alternate perspective than most. And I’m not the least bit offended if your opinion and reasoning differs from mine. But I have some skin in “green” energy. Im not investing, but this stuff is what’s paying my bills currently. Im an independent landman/broker that has traditionally been all hydrocarbon. Oil and gas prospects are drying up- not the wells themselves- but the work (prospects) they generate. The injection of renewable prospects has helped keep an entire industry afloat while the current administration is dumping on “traditional” energy. I couldn’t be more thankful for it. The clients are the exact same as O&G. The process and work (atleast on my end) are the exact same as O&G. The vast majority of my invoices are sent to literally the same people as they always have been. The only differences that have a real impact on me are the budgets, and that’s a good difference- but that does highlight the inefficiency of the green model. And this isn’t new information, but green energy is less green than that awful oil and gas. Atleast for now. I know that, you know that, the oil companies taking billions of dollars in subsidies to develop green energy know that. Im not sold on wind/solar as a total replacement for historically traditional energy. I don’t think anyone is. But I do think everyone agrees that there is only so much fuel still left in the earth, so it’s best if we start researching a replacement now. Maybe that’s wind and solar, maybe it’s something else (nuclear etc…), but when the last drop of petro or coal is extracted it’d be nice to still have air conditioning. All I’m saying is: that windmill or that solar panel is going to feed a lot of the same mouths that oil and gas used to. Love it or hate it, they do some good. [/QUOTE]
