Christian Groups Pull Support of Fossil Fuels

I hopeif this will have an affect on the Tea Party and other Christian Republicans who oppose Climate Change.

Yes. The effect will be to convince them that the mainstream Christian denominations have, indeed, been corrupted by the Devil.

 

On a side note, I'd like to think that those forum members who believe religion is universally bad and useless and counterproductive and filled with unthinking fools will turn of their DogmaKneejerkTM button for a moment and reflect.

This really does give me a great deal of hope. I applaud this decision based on ethical treatment of our environment, and the acknowledgement of the threat of unchecked burning of fossil fuels. Bravo, World Council of Churches!

I am also finding it very encouraging.

Now, they need to invest in scientists to create free (never patented) cheap, and effective (>15%) solar panels,

create (or buy) solar panels creating companies, and sell them as cheap as possible to the all people on the world, or simply give them away for free (with clause not for resale).

how about 36% efficiency

 

http://solarlove.org/amonix-achieves-world-record-for-pv-module-efficiency-in-test-at-nrel/

 

however the above uses concentrators and is not available for residential applications.

 

there is a research paper that discusses a possible method to get a 30% boost for a total of 60% efficiency

here is another alternative to fossil fuel

Algae biofuel can help meet world energy demand, researchers say

there is also the problem of battery storage to deal with
