My objection to wind is a purely logical one - how much of the country
would need to be covered by turbines to provide say 80% of our energy?


Come to that, what about hydro?

It's a better option than wind, certainly, but still not really a solution.

The problem is this. The only way to reduce CO2 emissions (whether we
need to is another matter) in any real sense over the next 50 years is
by switching to nuclear. But the same people who get worked up about
climate change (mostly) also get worked up about nuclear power.
