Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable

Urchin writes "Although scientists are agreed that we must cut carbon emissions from transport and electricity generation to prevent the globe's climate becoming hotter, the most advanced 'renewable' technologies are too often based upon non-renewable resources including indium and platinum — resources that could dry up in 10-15 years if they were widely used in the renewable energy market."

    As far as I know, scientists do not agree that we must reduce our carbon emissions to stop global warming. Opening your story with an obvious fallacy is not a good way to gain credibility. Objectivity is important to science. In fact, there can be no real science without objectivity. I'll stop now. The likelihood of this post ever being seen is infinitesimal anyway.
