There you have it. It does not mater how good the science is. If the
solutions
are so unpalatable that they can not be sold to politicians or the
public, then it
is largely irrelevant: preaching to the choir.
I like 'deep heat mining':
http://dhm.ch/
and wave power:
http://www.wavegen.com/
neither of which generate harmful gasses (heat pollution yes). Put
together with superconductors to transport the power:
http://www.amsuper.com/ or http://www.ultraconductors.com/
there seems to be some realistic hope.
