I share a similar frustration. Nothing's perfect. Unfortunately, we don't live in a society that's willing to accept that, so little really changes. Nuclear's dangerous. Wind power kills migrating birds. Solar's too unreliable. Hydroelectric kills fish. Etc. Etc. There will always be a reason not to do something. But I never hear those environmental obstructionists ever volunteer some magic pill solution of their own (and agree upon it) to actually help us get over our dependence on oil (and coal). Maybe we should go with moderation--a balance of using a bit of each technology to minimize their individual downsides.
