3) No offense, (I think you're a good guy) but you sound frighteningly similar to the Trumpettes who insist that global warming is all a hoax. Aren't you the fellow who advises them to choose one:
A) scientists are all stupid
B) scientists are all in on an enormous conspiracy
C) global warming is real
((reader's digest condensed version) ?
Here is the same advice for you here:
A) Businessmen are all stupid
B) Businessmen are all in on an enormous conspiracy (against their own best interests!)
C) Wind/Solar are not generally cheaper than the alternatives
Choose one
I'm flattered that you would remember my little global warming quiz.
For yours, I pick letter B, but you have it backwards. The fact is, businessmen ARE investing heavily in solar and wind. It will replace fossil fuels eventually because it is cheaper in the long run.
My proposal is that we use government-industry partnerships to speed up the process and gain strategic economic and geopolitical advantages. Plus we get "free energy".
