Abstract:     
As a physicist and long time environmental activist, it has become apparent that the decline of Critical Thinking in our society has coincided with popular support of palliative solutions to our energy problems. Few proponents of renewable energy schemes are bothering to use scientific methodology. Their standard excuse for not properly checking out specious industry claims is some version of "we don't have the time." This paper discusses the energy situation from scientific, economic, and environmental perspectives.
