When the hippies are ready to be realistic about the problem then I'll be ready to support them. In the meantime they are hurting their cause and the poor people who always end up living by the shitty plants that pollute.

That's the problem with radical ideas. They aren't practical and they do a lot of harm.
A lot of the power plants throughout the country need to be replaced. Doing so is a totally different ballgame. I'm curious as to what the average age for a power plant is in the United States. I bet it's pretty old. Newer technology must be incredibly more efficient and more environmentally responsible than the old plants.
