I do know this: if green energy were economically viable on a large scale (or really any scale), that’s what would be powering my house and car instead of gas and oil.

Do you think viability has anything to do with it? Or the reason mass transit in the LA area no longer exists? Why we all drive 40 miles in gas guzzling cars to work everyday?The oil and car industry killed public transportation and sold us on buying big cars. They tell us it’s not possible to build a car that gets 50+ miles to the gallon and just give up on gas mileage standards set years ago.
How much longer can we rape out planet? Not much longer, but if you are trying to bring about the end of times, I guess it doesn’t matter.

March 3, 2009 at 1:56 AM #359144Participant[quote=arraya]The main issue I have with your post is ridiculing improvements to US energy policy as hippie-green-liberal nonsense. It’s this decade-old ‘Anti-Gore’ GOP talking point bullshit.
Actually, I think it goes back to when Reagan took off the white house solar panels that Carter put on. [/quote]
I think it does go back to Reagan… “Trees cause more pollution than automobiles.”
On a side note, Dick Cheney is feeling the love these days…
“We all need money, but to apply green lipstick to this Darth Vader of fish and wildlife is whoring – it’s grotesque,” Williams said. “It’s as if the Holocaust museum held a dinner to honor [Nazi war criminal] Klaus Barbie.”

Participant[quote=Zeitgeist]I see little difference between the socialists and the fascists, just the uniforms. The policies are pretty much the same, big government trumps the individual. The state replaces the family. Either way you get a nanny state.[/quote]
Big government that trumps the individual by holding citizen indefinitely without trial?
