Update on the CERN CLOUD experiment | Watts Up With That?

Update on the CERN CLOUD experiment | Watts Up With That?

Hmm, you mean we don't know everything about cloud formation and the potential link between Cosmic Rays and "aerosol seeds." Hmm, you mean we are still experimenting with that, and that this could be a significant, and here to fore unaccounted for in the computer models, lever in climate change. Amazing, I mean people are SO convinced that the science is settled.

I will say this again. Efficiency makes sense. LED light bulbs are actually cost effective today. Burning fossil fuels does put a lot of crap in the air, soot, etc, that does cause breathing problems. So stopping their use is a good thing. On the other side, cheap energy is the key to living well and lighter on the environment. So the plan should be, keep energy cheap, and find ways to make clean energy CHEAPER than dirty energy. Taxing "dirty" energy only raises it's price and hurts everyone; but the poor most of all. Better to simply help research cleaner energy, and at worst subsidize it.
