Science just does not survive without genuinely free and open debate. Charges of denialism seek to stifle that.
Regardless of that, however, there is good reason to support vastly greater investment into energy sources other than fossil fuels, as these will become depleted and more expensive due to massively increased demand upon them from places like China and India. Medieval windmills aren't the answer and solar cannot generate base-load power. This leaves nuclear and geo-thermal - but why not think big? Why so little support for fusion power?! (Answer: in my view, because capitalism stifles innovation because new capital will undermine existing capital)
