I found your comment highly informative! It's much the same here in Australia, where yes, we have tons of sunshine, but current solar panels are so incredibly ineffective as to be useless. Hydroelectic wreaks havoc on natural water systems; wind farms are extremely expensve to maintain and cause a lot of noise pollution -- we're planning on going nuclear with a time frame within the next fifty years.

Personally I think planning to reduce CO2 emissions slowly over fifty years is a joke since I think we'll be seeing the catastrophic climate changes within the next decade.
