More on "Green Energy"

I have been reading a number of articles, academic and otherwise, on so called green energy. I am convinced that green energy is just lot of talk -- the scientific facts are obscured by vested interests. There is lot of work on energy payback but as the various authors note the exact payback depends on where the system boundaries are drawn.

Given below are a few links that others can use to make up their own mind.

Perhaps we need to start a campaign for real technical information on "green energy". Till someone shows clearly that "green energy" can be used to build the systems that generate the energy, count me as a skeptic.
