Yeah, and all those people who believe there is a man in the clouds seem really logical too!
I agree we can't end our dependence on fossil fuels over night, but that argument seems to be the only one thats keeping everything at the start line. Well we can't do it right now, so lets wait until it makes more sense. Well I think a petro-chemical fountain is about as senseless as it gets, I mean we aren't even trying, A TOPHAT, and A PILE OF GARBAGE. There is a new solar cell that is paint-on and is much more efficient than any cell thusfar created. WIND, TIDAL and WAVE can energize the world if it is correctly produced and maintained, I THINK Great Britain already gets like 12% from tidal and wave energy. With GEOTHERMAL we could give energy to the world forever, simply put. Thats all there is to it, people need to realize, knowing is understanding that we know nothing.
Source----Zeitgeist (Transcript) "In 2006, an MIT report on geothermal energy found that 13,000 zettajoules of power are currently available in the earth, with the possibility of 2000 zj being easily tap-able with improved technology. The total energy consumption of all the countries on the planet is about half of a zettajoule a year. "
So what is preventing us from developing technology that could do this for us, well when that technology becomes available the oil, automotive and energy industries will be turned into fractions of what they are now. There are already cars that are completely electric and have much better overall statistics than that of internal-combustion engines. If energy is never a question, then why fight over money, why give corporate titans the last say because they have the money. We are the people, and we want a healthy and happy existence, and they want a happy and paternal existence(for themselves). Very simply put, there are people alive who think they should dictate how our lives ought to be.
So lets not make statements that we both know are obvious fabrications.
Peace
