I am worried that geothermal energy will accelerate earth core cooling causing the poles to flip and disrupting all of technology in the process. Hydro kills the salmon. Wind kills bats and raptors and migratory waterfowl. Solar may contribute to the coming ice age.
So I will stick to coal, I feel we need to free up all that sequestered carbon, and coal particulates encourage rainfall thus irrigating the earth and cleansing the atmosphere all in one shot. Oh, wait...wrong forum... never mind...
