What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?
That's one weather prediction for southern California in the next week. Gary Haupt

This is the question that resides in the back of my mind. How much of the current climate "warming" trend is cyclical and how much is man-influenced? And, within reason, how much of an impact can we make short term, vs long term.
I'm a big proponent of wind and solar energy generation, but I also see the endless legal hurdles that every single project must overcome before coming to any sort of completion. The same Greenies who rail against fossil fuels are opposed to offshore wind farms. Every locality faces opposition to wind turbines and solar farms and the NIMBY groups. Here in New England, it's on the verge of becoming a serious problem.
We cannot simply abandon fossil fuel supplies without subsidizing and fast-tracking alternative energy projects. We cannot bring the country to its knees, hoping that things will work out.
