No. My point wasn't in expecting the answer.  My point was that complaining 
that the best answer still sucks doesn't help until someone comes up with a 
better answer.

I don't think we're disagreeing there. But complaining about a problem that 
everyone in the world would like to solve that nobody has come up with a 
solution for isn't too helpful. People aren't denying that burning fossil 
fuels isn't the best of all possible worlds. People are merely denying that 
something better is feasible.
