On the Fact that if You Truly Consider CO2 Emissions to Be an Existential Threat to Humanity AND You Wish that Civilization Not Regress Back to the 19th Century AND You Still Oppose Hydroelectric and Nuclear Energy (the Only Two Scalable Emissions-Free Energy Options), You're Either a Sadist, a Lunatic, a Fraud, a Crony Capitalist Heavily Invested In "Green" Energy, or a Moron

 Please, to the 10 or 15 sane global warming people out there, check out the work of guys like Vaclav Smil, Roger Pelke Jr., Michael Shellenberger and Jesse Ausubel, and pay particular attention to the ideas of power density, resource intensity, and scalability. Trust me, once you grasp the humongous nature of the task and the limitations of what the activist left is pushing energy-wise, that case for hydroelectric and nuclear power will eventually resonate.
