Renewables

There is a fresh new wind blowing in the climate story and it is a welcome change. Several leading environmentalist have come to the conclusion that we cannot make the transfer from coal to renewables without the help of natural gas. If they believe this then the first step is to use natural gas for transportation but they are faced with the electric car push. If natural gas is used in power plants and transportation this give renewables the time they need to catch up. Even with such a change those pushing renewables have yet to face the problem of air travel which they would like to avoid for the time being. Oh where are the thorium nuke people when we need them?
