Editorial response
Dear editor: Regarding your recent editorial on the use of coal for energy production and your derisive use of the term “radical” to describe Nobel scientists such as Mr. Chu, who favors the use of renewable energy sources, it is difficult to comprehend your motivations. Burning coal is a major source of the CO2 that has contributed to the melting of the polar ice caps, the worst case scenario being the inundation of Manhattan and Florida. Surely that is a more “radical” possibility than the foresighted search for renewable sources of power. Enough solar energy strikes the Earth in a single hour to furnish humanities needs for a year if it could be harnessed efficiently. What is “radical” about developing that clean, inexhaustible supply? At present coal is cheap, but hardly the only option when innovation and mass production could combine to produce a new economy.Your editorial reeks of unimaginative thinking at a time when the world needs people like Mr. Chu to open closed eyes.
