The Impractical Alternative Fuel Industry

The alternative fuel industry, other than oil, gas and coal, is preferred by environmentalists, but is unrealistic and impractical.

Wind power is cheaper than solar power and it also takes less land. Yet, it still is subsidized and not comparable to what we get for our immediate needs at low cost, and without taxpayer help.

New solar thermal power, also not cost-competitive, requires lots of empty land that is not always available. It uses the sun as a means of heating water by turning turbines. Silicon-coated photovoltaic method is not as good.

The alternative fuel industry we hear so much about isn’t practical, in so many ways.
