I don't think you or anyone else will convince @Bacle of this simply b/c that's what he's swallowed. I'm also certain that @Bacle has lots of reasons for his decision, but I think he's invested too much into that belief to disown it without something smashing him in the face (figuratively...

not racist...it's the environment silly! The Environment isn't racist. just means that math wants humanity to die.

Because they want an excuse to harvest money from you.

The lights go out and your freezer stops working...and your AC...and you're fridge...and your pumps...

Define 'really nice timber' for me and why we need it please.

I'm going to have to see if I can find an article/study I read a while back. Basically looked at total land area in the US over history to see how much actual forest we have here. It stated that we have more forest in the US today than we did in the 1800's. The answer: timber companies PLANT...

And now I'm done derailing! :)

The 26 Glacier Tour

I was in Alaska for some vacation a couple months ago. We went to Whittier in order to catch a cruise around Prince William Sound. There is not much there aside from the port. EDIT: that building is pretty old, but I have no idea how nice it is inside.

@DarthOne This is what happens when you let the EPA shut down all your Peaker Plants. They burn gas and sometimes coal in order to meet peaking high demands. They don't run all the time at capacity, they're just there to make sure the grid keeps going strong. There are many things we need to...

From what I've heard from people who've been to China the cities are filthy with feces and waste.

That's part of the problem. The other is that almost all firefighting units don't have the right foam equipment to put those chemicals out once they start going.

For a pure EV the battery replacement cost is prohibitive. For a Hybrid, the battery replacement is MUCH less expensive because the batteries are no where near as high capacity. In fact, hybrids do a really good job of enhancing mpg and performance without any add'l stress on our power grid...

There is no better power source for mobile vehicle than fossil fuels...as of right now.

Your knowledge of what can be done with the waste is pretty out of date. Modern nuke plants can recycle their waste.

Wasn't sure where else to put this...

Hyperinflation is what happens when a Country chooses to just make the money printer go BRRRRRRR without restraint. "Well, the states gotta pay them debts. Print out more money!" Then all that money hyperinflates b/c no one puts a break on it b/c they can't if they want to keep the house of...

You're at the highest efficiency when it come to 'renewable' energy as a source-point-user. You don't need ridiculous amounts of resources to make it work and you'll lose the least amount possible due to transmission. I generally support this sort of practice over ANY government/private wind...

Unfortunately...if you bail out the banks enough...they become nationalized in all but name.
