From a British perspective, this argument seems utterly absurd. We generate almost twice as much of our electricity using renewable sources, but our population density is eight times higher. If we can find the land to accommodate wind turbines, so can you. There are a heck of a lot of rooftops that don't currently have solar panels on them.

- bwanab 8y agoYou British also have a history of pulling together when times get tough. Maybe it's because of our lack of density, or maybe it's just the people who up and moved here, but as Churchill supposedly said: “Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”
