I am curious what you think is a “sensible” energy policy, because some people think “sensible” means windmills that shred birds and bats and that stop at a moment’s notice. I think “sensible” is a push toward natural gas which is becoming plentiful, has much less N and S oxide pollution, no mercury to speak of, no ash residue, no particulates, and half the CO2 output of coal per BTU (should you think that is important). Sounds like a win-win to me, but some greens bemoan gas because it will allow people to maintain their standard of living and stay warm (I guess not enough guilt-assuaging suffering for their taste).
