How the Economics of Renewable Energy Have Been Validated : TreeHugger

But you see, it’s that very data that we as environmentalists must embrace in order to get the message out in a logical and rational way. That’s why I’ve spent years analyzing real data. Not just the randomness that comes from mainstream media sources. And it is through this data that I realized something very important. I realized that no matter how much the talk show bullies, armchair analysts and outright deniers try to slow progress, they can’t magically change the fundamentals of supply and demand. And this, more than anything else, is why we’re now seeing the beginning of a transitional energy economy–one that will take us from an oil-slicked, coal-fired obscenity to a clean and green renewable energy future.

For the next several weeks, Siegel will be making his case that moving toward renewable energy makes as much economic sense as it does environmental.

Looking forward to reading his arguments, and seeing his data.
