NO, you are 100% right on that, but some things have less of an impact or cost or whatever than others. I am sure (hope) we all agree that solar and wind power is a better choice over other current options when you consider everything.
I also think we can all agree that more efficient vehicles are a must as well. I am not saying smaller, slower or anything like that, just more efficient. If we just start to praise success again instead of failure as we are currently doing, our country would be a much better place and surely would not be in the economic disaster it is currently in.
