from PAUL AGOGLIA If Path To Renewables Wrong, So What? No Harm Is Done To the Editor: Mr. Downey and Mr. Zagata, apparent experts in fracked gas, and I (pro renewable) will not be here in 50 years to say to one another, “I told you so”.

from CHIP NORTHRUP For Now, Gas Necessary, But Before Long, Goodnight Irene To the Editor: Have followed the local fossil fuel v. renewables debate from afar and would like to suggest that there may be more compatibility between the two that either side is willing to admit.
