That's probably true, but we shouldn't pretend like they don't exist. Or that they aren't huge.
What are they?  If they exist and are huge we should be able to see and touch them...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

You would think so, but apparently not everyone can see them.

I dont recall pretending that they didnt exist or that they werent large.

Care to explain what the present alternative is though.   ;)

Increase subsidies for renewable energy.

We already have.  They arent viable at present.

Could they be fiction?  Urban legend?
