Some of us thrill at new inventions and embrace thenew. Its kinda nice to know, though that the new is tried, tested and true.
What isn't such a good idea is turning off the current energy supplies with no idea of how to replace it. And those charged with the future obviously have no clue on what it is they are doing - now that is something to be scared of.
I worry for our environment - I dont want to see it covered in windfarms - one of the biggest blights on our natural landscapes in modern times. Nor do I particularly want the worlds rare earth metals exploited to extinction just to make batteries. And I worry for our grandchildren living in an energy poor society, where their forebears stopped the use of abundant resources while at the same time failing to come up with alternative means of generation. For example electric trains and electric cars are going to suck the life blood out of our electricity generation and not a word on suitable replacements
