76 trillion is the IPCC's wish list for money to be extracted from the US and redistributed as they see fit.. As for your windmills etc.. The environmental damage would be so great from so many batteries and their improper use/disposal it would be another democrat well meaning plot that turns into a nightmare.. And how many of your liberal control mongers would "not want those pesky wind mills and solar panels in all the yards around their homes" Then try that on your home owner associations and city zoning laws..
Its called a cluster **** of mega proportions.

I can't find anything about the IPCC requesting 76 trillion dollars from anywhere let alone just the U.S. I will give you that right now yes they are terribly inefficient but if we actually put effort in to researching them and making them better than they would become a worth while investment in our future, even if burning oil does no damage to the environment (which I very highly doubt considering all the evidence out there that states otherwise) regardless, would eliminating our oil dependence not be a great thing for our nation?
Now, the area where glaciers were “receding faster than in any other part of the world,” is, in fact, seeing statistically significant growth in the size of the glaciers over a substantial portion of the area under study. In essence, at the very time when the IPCC was relying on WWF literature to substantiate its claims for the end of the Himalayan glaciers, satellite photos were being taken which would disprove the central claim of Pachauri’s IPCC regarding the fate of those glaciers.
That the researcher responsible for the study is clearly not a “climate change denier” makes the IPCC’s credibility gap all the more significant, and it raises new questions regarding the fundamental credibility of any claim coming from an organization which has relied on shaky science to back its demand for the power to take $76 trillion from the economies of the industrialized world and “redistribute” those funds for “green technologies” in the third world.

As for wind and solar, they have a long way to go and we must overcome the liberal "not in my back yard" approach of I will force you to use it but dont expect me too..
Storage is the major problem. until that is cheep, less environmentally intrusive and reliable nothing else matters.
They want 76 trillion dollars from the entire world over the course of 40 years, that is very different from asking the U.S. for 76 trillion dollars right here right now, as for the not in my back yard approach I have not met anyone with that view point myself but if I did I would be on your side, we not only need more efficient ways of storing the energy but also to increase the panels efficiency in gathering it.
Personally I think we are looking at the wrong piece of the photosynthesis equation, plants make energy using CO2 and light from the sun, the harm to our environment is done by the CO2 released during the process of burning fossil fuels. If plants can separate the carbon and the oxygen why not study them, figure out how to replicate it and then stick one on top of every smoke stack, using solar panels to power the process. Thus burning the coal to make energy for the grid, and using solar power to scrub the air and concentrate the carbon back in to coal in order to be burned again.
