Riely, I hold the Vietnamese in high esteem. They do not waste their money on silly fripperies like us. They are practical and adopt the smart solution not the politically correct option.
Solar and wind both need subsidies to build and subsidies to supply to make any sense. Coal however is reliable and cheaper and that is what they use. Like the Chinese and the Indians.
Same with travel, they have a good railway running North to South but the bulk of passengers use air travel for the same practical reasons.
No the Vietnamese are a lovely, practical and intelligent people and I am sorry we are unable to learn from them.

Mr bower the shot has already been fired. Your slimy attitude can not be retrieved by words. You meant what you said and now live with it.

Green energy facilities are all made of petroleum so, what is so green about them ?
Unless we are willing to go back to Stone Age ways of living, the notion of Zero emission is as idiotic as those who push it !

i dont think any sane person will ever suggest zero emissions.

What they suggest, as a national goal at least, is zero net emissions

Chris,

This is not going to happen. It's just too late. Decades of inaction have left us with a problem that is now just too big to fix.

We can always do what the AGW/CC denialists do: Tell everyone it's not our fault and stick our heads back into the sand.

i dont think any sane person will ever suggest zero emissions.
Chris Lewis,
I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that I didn't hint at sane people ! Unless you think of common sense derived pseudo Academics as sane.
