Adding shale gas to the energy mix in the US has caused a rapid and significant reduction in that country's carbon output, because it is far less polluting than the coal and oil it can immediately and directly replace. There is also enough of it to last a century.

This country's dash for wind power is a busted flush now the public has woken up to the sheer number of turbines that would be required to make a dent in our energy requirements. Once upon a time I would have argued that they were an interesting addition to the landscape but the problem now is they're absolutely everywhere, we've still barely begun, and they still cost an absolute fortune which we're all paying for in artificially inflated energy bills.
