To the second point, researchers are now studying the theory that fossil fuels are in fact a waste product of the Earth, and are therefore renewable (Oh, and BTW, CO2 is plant food, get over it). Now, to the first point. My home was built in 1865. It used coal fire places, then coal forced air, and now natural gas to heat it. It is also oriented East-West. We have a ton of solar gain (in a long, narrow house, no less), to the point where, if it's sunny in the winter, we don't have to turn on the heat, and it'll hit 78* (I've measured). Stop with all of this sarcasm BS on McMansions. People buy them, and are fine with them. Shut up. What is with all of this negative, pointless sarcasm/tirade about fossil fuels.

Anon is not right. He or she is as archaic as the definition of his/her username. Vitriol is defined as "bitter criticism" and I see nothing wrong with calling a horse a horse. Why apologize for a perfectly suitable comment? Anon is not right. He or she is as archaic as the definition of his/her username.

Vitriol is defined as “bitter criticism” and I see nothing wrong with calling a horse a horse.
