I bet the Stanford Professor is against fossil fuels on ideological grounds

Reader comment on item: The End of Carbon Fuels?

Solar and wind are only efficient at killing birds and producing expensive electricity. They will not replace all other methods - including nuclear - in about a decade. Nuclear energy is very efficient but the global-warm-mongers despise it. Anyway in the 30's, the main item on the agenda will be the Muslims' extraordinary population-growth in Europe (this is exponential growth, meaning that it requires ever-less time for the entire population to double). God knows how many will be added to the Muslim population in a given year by natural growth alone. This and the continued rise of the anti-Islamization parties will dominate everyone's agenda.

Nobody will bother talking about so-called climate change. Mass deportations would be widely discussed and perhaps implemented. It's difficult to tell just how chaotic and violent things might get in the 30's. Ironically, in claiming that those acting against the Islamization of their countries (and against their becoming minorities in their own historical lands) are racists/fascistc, the pressure created in Europe accumulates, making true racism/fascism more likely.

Of course. if fuel would be less commonly used in the 30's, and its price would be much lower, then the middle-east could grow even more violent, as Dr. Pipes suggests, but I'm not sure that anyone in Europe will care much about that. Let's say that as anti-Islamism grows, the left will find few care to complain about how Israel defends itself. I wished we lived in less interesting times.
