One of my favorite dishes is the Cajun ribeye at Morton’s Steakhouse. It’s 16 ounces of juicy, spicy goodness. As much as I love the dish, however, it’s not something I could eat every day. I’d quickly develop coronary artery disease. I’d also go broke! A balanced diet is more sensible.
Much the same could be said about the nation’s energy policy. Wind, solar, nuclear, hydroelectric, fossil fuels: No one source can fulfill all of our energy needs, and each has a downside. A balanced approach is more sensible.
