The payoff is MUCH greater and we could shut down fossil fuel plants completely. There is no reason we couldn't do it - we landed on the moon (and more amazingly returned!) in 1969 with a carborated pushrod v8 and drum brakes

Smugness, I mean folks who think they're saving the world because they 'reduced' their carbon footprint 1%, so they are justified.

That strange windmill is beautiful in its' own right.

For saving the planet? No problem

Although in the long run only the colonisation of space solves the problem simply because we'll run out of room.

I used to be 100% for a manhatten project for fusion power, but it seems it's always a little out of reach. I now believe we should have the project on almost immediately attainable things, to start harvesting the value of space like solar collectors and mining, once we're up there fission bombs are a perfectly acceptable method of drive. Become much wealthier as a race, we'll figure out fusion eventually. Probably. Possibly. Well maybe.

Well, you know Obama will not approve of your plan, him being an anti-colonialist and everything.
