What's funny is that environmentalists think we can get adequate energy without oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydropower (if fish spawn there), and wind and solar farms (if they're located within view of their backyards).

It reminds of a joke made about Germany's Green Party back when I lived there. Roughly translated "Greens believe that they get their power directly from their electrical outlets (that their power is manufactured within their clean, environmentally friendly outlets without the need to be connected to the dirty power grid).
