Global warming is real, and is very scary.

Maybe to YOU.

One of the most dangerous things the human race has ever faced, and one
which has the potential to destroy our current civilization.

Perhaps you haven't noticed but the US has reduced coal energy by 40%
over the past decade, solar is projected to increase by 30% over the next
TWO years and China is building two wind turbines per hour (half of the
world's production). At 4 per hour worldwide, that's 8000 per year
assuming a 2000 hour work year. At 1.5 MW/turbine and 6 hours/day, that
adds 3 GWHrs to energy production every year.

Things aren't so bad. Renewable is small but it's growing rapidly.

This is promising, of course. We just have to hope it hasn't come to
late.
