Climate Change's Costs Are No Longer Hidden

Climate change is proving very costly. One of those new costs is the need for additional electrical generation capacity during peak load emergencies such as the one in which we now find ourselves.

We have gone for well over a century thinking that we can belch all the carbon dioxide we want, totally free of charge. It is now time to start paying the hidden costs of that practice.

My biggest fear is that as more polar ice melts, it may release large quantities of trapped methane, which is a much stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. If/when that happens, we're toast.

But hey, I'm 70. It's y'all's problem to deal with, not mine.
