The company I work for has spent billions, if not tens of billions, on alternative energy projects: wind, solar, geothermal, ocean waves, biofuels...and those are the ones that come quickly to mind. We've bailed out of all of them at a big loss.
Nothing comes close to providing economical energy to world like fossil fuels. The whole CO2 thing is a scam.

When you say that "nothing provides economical energy to the world like fossil fuels" are you considering the cost to the USA to protect our interests in the middle east? The only interest, I see is oil (crony capitalism). Given that without the oil profits, terrorism funding would be GREATLY reduced, I don't think you're considering all costs. I thought we realized this 30 years ago, but because Americans have a "right" to drive gas guzzling vehicles, I guess it was forgotten. Homeowners who install new solar panels recoup their investment in 3 to 5 years, so I doubt your assertation has any validity. The sun and the wind are the future, embrace it!
