At the Science Center at the Leonardo on Thursday evening I attended the meeting
on Global Warming and the Environment in Utah. Great points were raised. My
point about the "common sense" signs of Global Warming being that we tend to set
so many more record highs than record lows over and over and over again may have
been interesting, but not nearly as "common sense" as the comments from one member
of the audience.

After the suggestion that we move more towards Nuclear power to prevent the burning
of fossil fuels which is apparently fueling Global Warming, there was mixed reaction. Most
of it positive until the reminder that there still is a lack of government aid in getting rid of
the nuclear waste.

Then after being told that all other alternative energy sources were a waste of time, the
man with common sense rose from the crowd and said "Look all around you, Solar is
everywhere, Geothermal has NOT been researched well".

You know, that old  expression, we can land a man on the moon, but we can't _______________

It seems to me just plain ol' common sense that solar energy can be harnassed. To the
unnamed man with common sense in the crowd, I agree, Let's Go Solar. Let's not
give up on Geothermal. Let's think out of the box, that is what we are good at, isn't it?
