James Hansen, the father of the global warming alarm with his&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.masterresource.org\/hansen-james\/climate-alarm-began-hansen-1988\/\">1988 Congressional testimony<\/a>, predicted as much.

There is no action, just promises. As long as fossil fuels appear to be the cheapest fuels out there, they will be continued to be burned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was a photo-op, in retrospect, was negated by superior, consumer-chosen, taxpayer-neutral energies.

James Hansen has offered&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~jeh1\/mailings\/2011\/20110729_BabyLauren.pdf\">a realistic opinion<\/a>&nbsp;here as well: \u201cSuggesting that renewables will let us phase rapidly off fossil fuels in the United States, China, India, or the world as a whole is almost the equivalent of believing in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China is the new role model with \u201cclean\u201d energy, from renewables to vehicle electrification. But why emulate a centrally planned economy that loses money at the expense of its citizens? China depends on fossil fuels for 87% of its energy usage, in any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At best, China is \u201cgreenwashing\u201d its coal boom.

EDF \u2026was chief architect of the disastrous Kyoto lemon. NRDC proudly claims credit for Obama\u2019s EPA strategy and foolishly allows it to migrate to Paris.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare this to the Grassroots Green movement blocking wind, solar, and battery projects (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertbryce.com\/rrdb\">1,126 and counting<\/a>) that create blight and lower property values.
