Energy and reality

I want to call your attention to a brief and simple post over on Democratic Underground. It starts off like this:

If you think the BP incident was bad, wait until we have an "accident" in a nuclear reactor or at a nuclear dump.

We have to move to solar and wind energy. They are the only near-safe methods of creating energy. They are not totally safe, and they may be more expensive than oil, but they are the only safe sources of energy.

We have to find a way to produce solar panels that are durable but less expensive than the current panels.

There's a bit more with another really good point. Go read it, please. It will only take a couple of seconds.
