Four Dirty Secrets about Clean Energy

By Alex Epstein, FoxNews.com

1. Dirty Secret #1: If “clean energy” were actually cheaper than fossil fuels, it wouldn’t need a policy.
2. Dirty Secret #2: Clean energy advocates want to force us to use solar, wind, and biofuels, even though there is no evidence these can power modern civilization.
3. Dirty Secret #3: There are promising carbon-free energy sources--hydroelectric and nuclear--but “clean energy” policies oppose them as not “green” enough.
4. Dirty Secret #4: The environmentalists behind clean energy policy are anti-energy.

To be anti energy is the same as being anti growth.  Economic growth depends on the availability of cheap and abundant energy.  Take that away and you take away prosperity.  This is contrary to what Al Gore says, but he is wrong.
