Hard News: Science: it's complicated, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Bart, I also appreciate your patience, especially with those of us who may have strong views but who are ignorant of the technical details.
Science has brought us so many amazing benefits, but I'm not sure we've been very good at dealing with the power it gives us.
I think what I was trying to say earlier in a roundabout sort of way is that I don’t blame the science or the scientists for the sometimes stupid ways technology gets used. I think it’s our responsibility as a society to ensure that we direct and use scientific developments for the greater good; to do that we need excellent communication between scientists and laypeople, so we can make informed choices.
Which I think Russell already said in the original post. :-)

Steve: I don’t at all disagree about solar panels and decentralised generation, but I think further research into sustainable power generation is also important. Science and technology present us with complex choices and choosing the best path depends on context.
and Yamis: once again, the issues are complex, and I’m not saying that raising beef cattle locally would solve every environmental problem. Global food production could be much higher if people ate less meat and dairy, but how you make that happen I don’t know.
