"Most people buy rooftop solar panels because they think it will save them money or make them green, or both. But the truth is that rooftop solar shouldn�t be saving them money (though it often does), and it almost certainly isn�t green. In fact, the rooftop-solar craze is wasting billions of dollars a year that could be spent on greener initiatives. It also is hindering the growth of much more cost-effective renewable sources of power."

"Obama�s Catastrophic Climate-Change Denial."
A NYT op-ed.
Now, having watched the Arctic melt, does Shell take that experience and conclude that it�s in fact time to invest heavily in solar panels and wind turbines? No. Instead, it applies to be first in line to drill for yet more oil in the Chukchi Sea, between Alaska and Siberia...
And the White House gave Shell the license....
This is not climate denial of the Republican sort, where people simply pretend the science isn�t real. This is climate denial of the status quo sort, where people accept the science, and indeed make long speeches about the immorality of passing on a ruined world to our children. They just deny the meaning of the science, which is that we must keep carbon in the ground.
