Something tells me that if tomorrow someone invented a clean source of cheap, limitless energy, these folks would be severely disappointed.
Why? Because it’s not so much about the climate as it is about carbon trading schemes and wealth shifting on the part of some, and the slowing of development and economic growth on the part of others.
The above would throw a wrench into the desires of both these camps, and it probably wouldn’t make any measurable difference in the climate, either.
