Hey! Yeah! let's pollute yet ANOTHER frontier! Why, wouldn't it be just
lovely to gaze up at night and see all those stations pumping away,
blocking our views! (I'm being silly here, please don't think I'm serious
or attacking anyone) I think that the solutions are to be found on this
planet: Solar power is a VERY good option, so is wind and yes <gasp> some
fossil fuels IF (and I qualify with a mighty big IF) they are burned
cleanly. I also think Hydro-electric power could be utilized if we can
change the technology to make it more "fish friendly". Of course, someone
out there needs to get off their butt and perfect cold fusion and take
care of all this mess! <grin>
