"Solar, wind and energy conservation are proven, cost effective and realistic technologies"
Oh FFS, how many times does the word "baseload" have to be mentioned before people like you get it? Yes , solar and wind should be an essential part of the mix - but the sun doesn't shine at night or much at all during a northern winter and wind power often isn't much use when there's a slopw moving high pressure system sat above (which is pretty bloody often in a large part of the world). And no, you can't just rely on batteries, they can't store enough power for more than a few hours unless you have a storage unit the size of a small hill.
