Having renewable energy is somewhat of a different topic, as I mentioned earlier. I never said I'm against renewable energy. My contention is looking to renewable energy assuming that fossil fuels are what causes global warming.
Plus, renewable energy is bogged down by political/constituent garbage--by both Democrats and Republicans. I'm all for renewable energy, namely, biodiesel. Biodiesel made from Jatropha has a lower freezing point than aviation fuel. The high freezing point of diesel has been one of the biggest arguments against diesel, yet here we have a very viable source.
Why don't we use biodiesel? Because Democrats line their money pockets with corn farmers (Iowa), and the farmers rely on massive govt. subsidies to remain profitable. How does corn relate to renewable energy? It makes Ethanol, the most useless waste of money. It's expensive, has crappy fuel economy, and isn't energy efficient.
So yes I'm all for renewable energy. The irony is that while Democrats cry out against global warming, they let their wallets and constituencies prevent progress for renewable energy. Don't expect this to change with Obama, as he's firmly committed to investing more money into ethanol (McCain was against it).
