GO GREEN GONE First, it should not be ignored that wind generator manufacture is labor and chemical intensive, expensive, and far from green. They have limited utility as they depend on wind, requiring a reliable backup energy source. Second, oil spills are gobbled up quickly by natural processes, as has been demonstrated in the Gulf. Mop up the easy pickings, leave the rest to Mother Nature. Third, CO2 cannot acidify seawater which is a complex buffer; there is no evidence of a CO2-related pH decrease or marine organisms suffering from more CO2; the reverse is true, though, as marine life thrives with more than ten times today’s CO2. Assuming that a little pH change is bad is itself false. Photosynthesis can raise the pH drastically by whole units daily. Fourth, coral bleaching largely occurs with temperature changes up or down, as they trade their symbiotic algae for those appropriate for the temperature; come back 6 months to a year later and the corals are colored again. This is a natural process.
