> [@wolfpup](#): > > So the real solution to clean electric power generation is a blend of multiple technologies, not a prejudicial rejection of one or another for stupid reasons. This. I think this is the point that gets lost sometimes. It feels like people touting for clean energy sometimes make the case for their technology over other clean energy technologies (solar vs wind, for example) when it really should be a debate of clean energy over fossil fuel. And it will have to be a blend of mulitple technologies, along with a massive improvements to our existing, aged, energy grid. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > 12.5%. I suck. After getting only one point after the first two questions (one of which I got zero because the one I chose as 1st was 4th while the rest were in the correct order), I just went and submitted the rest of the answers without even reading the questions, and got 15%. ---
