Industrial scale development of renewable energy is underway but deniers (and some poor misguided folks who cling to nuclear energy as the only solution) pretend it can't fully replace use of fossil fuels. Even if that were true (it's not, of course), it would still make sense to develop renewables as a partial solution to mitigate the problem. This argument exposes their complete disregard for the problem of climate change. The same is true for the Nukesters who see nuclear vs renewables as a zero-sum game.
