The ‘green’ energy debate

These two pieces add much needed texture to the "green" energy debate.

Tom Mitchell and Jon Ralston (there's two ideological bedfellows for you) deal with the topic. Must reads.

Through all of it, remember that "green" energy is not the answer to the current depression in Nevada (as Harry Reid argues) and none of these projects can survive without big federal subsidies. Doesn't mean we should not try 'em ... But some realism in the debate is required.
