| Re: Gore sets 'moon shot' goal on climate change
Its not impossible to produce all of our peak power using solar energy. We have more than enough land, and the technology exists today. Granted, you'd probably have to keep natural gas around for non-daylight power in the short term, but eventually you could store energy instead. I think Gore's vision isn't realistic, but it is something to strive for. Although, if a breakthrough technology can be commercialized in that time period, it might actually come true. Not something to rely upon however. Still, its not any worse than most crap politicians promise, and its actually a laudable goal, if not reachable.
