Lurkette I'm sorry but you don't know what you are talking about. Its not like you would just need to turn our coal, oil, and natural gas plants to wind/solar/wave/geothermal power and be done with it. The problem with wind/solar/wave is that the amount of power produced isn't enough. It would take an insane amount of wind and solar plants to produce the CURRENT level of power generation the US uses. The solution of the greens is always making due with less power, and that my friend is basically saying 'lets have a recession'. Geothermal is not practical in most parts of the country, and the same applies to hydraulic.
And lets take transportation. You can make cars more efficient and I’m all for it, but either they get their power from gas (aka CO2) or are charged before hand with power produced by other means. Means you wish to eliminate in favor of far less efficient means. And now lets add cross country transportation for shipping, everything from condoms to grain. More expense, more cost.
Would you suggest we start to reduce our emissions while at the same time NOT having the technology to back it up (we don't) AND redesign all of our major cities involving millions and millions of people to be 'eco-friendly' and somehow think this will be painless?
It wouldn't require a shift in thinking, it would require a draconian government to force the population into lower standard of living while paying for the biggest rebuilding process the world has ever come close to seeing. Not going to happen here.
