The Op-Ed by Don C. Brunell in the Feb. 22 issue was good but missed a couple of things.

One. Hydro electric is bad for rivers and is not renewable. Reservoirs fill up with silt and become unusable in as little a 100 years.

Two. Our biggest "energy source" could and should be conservation. Why isn't anybody talking about it? Use less. Buy Less. Drive Less. Combine trips. Carpool. Turn-off the lights. Dress warm, turn down the heat. Etc.

If we all did our part traffic would be better and our existing energy sources would last longer. Enough time to switch to truly sustainable sources like wind and solar. But in order to do so, we all are going to have to help.

Finally. When they say, "clean burning coal power plants," I just have to shake my head. Carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced. The number one greenhouse gas. Burning fossil fuel is unwise.
