True, though I believe they are referring to the green house gas emissions mostly. Using renewable energy sources such has hydroelectric would pour cold water all over their thesis. Pun intended.
I'm a big supporter of wind, solar and hydroelectric power... I also know that any green house gases in excess amount are a bad thing, but that doesn't change the fact that same people who say those are bad are cutting down the trees that are supposed to convert them to safe chemical elements. My first real work place was actually agricultural research center.
