[QUOTE=HUSKER55]That point is going to be mute.
in ten years, or less, the vast majority of cars are going to use batteries. There are some articles in car magazines that say 2016 maybe the last year gas cars are made. The shift to more efficient means of shipping will start making an impact. Cheaper and cleaner energy has an established and positive influence and as technology improves so will the potential of solar and wind power to name 2.
1. Common sense will tell anyone that's got any that the earth can not sustain an infinite amount of human activity. I heard more than one old religious crony spout that we "little humans" can not affect the life of Earth....dream on...are you freaking kidding me? I don't care what science you believe in treating the planet like a dump or toilet won't last forever with billions of humans doing so. The end most likely will come at our hands. Either due to the fact we treat it like scumbags or blow it up trying to kill each other. The religious nuts do everything but read the Bible where one is told to be a "good steward" of the planet. Its a warning fools.
2. People love to deny things, its a way of life. Plus, if you are old and won't be around if and when it happens......you can afford to deny because in all reality you don't give a crap......Its convenient to kick the can down the road when it has no affect on you personally......
3.Husker is right. Our generation is somehow "brainwashed" into the oil, coal and gas thing. It will change because the alternatives will eventually become more effective and cheaper. There's only so much you can drill out of ground. That's how progress works...Shit, if I listened to some of the "boneheadness" people spout we would all still be riding horses and space travel would still be a freaking dream.
4. As for the "left leaners" and "right leaners" they are pretty much tools of the political machine...I kind of get a kick out of listening (laughing at) to both. Both are adept at scare tactics but the real problem is the jokers that fall for it...it drives our retarded policies. People don't read or research these things for themselves and repeat the BS they hear.
The earth is burning up, the terrorist are going to take over and we are all doomed if "father govt." does not save us. Lets look at how this is working. In reality, we are in debt up to our assholes, we have our noses up every other countries ass....and the ones that hate us are "evil." Iran is the current whipping boy, but anyone that bothers to read can find out that the CIA recently admitted orchestrating a coup to remove their elected govt. before all the shit hit the fan decades ago......Gee, why wouldn't they like us after that?
Like I said, people are nationalistic and classic deniers. Wave the flag, we are all free, we don't have to work, there's hand outs for everyone and if we get into a war......its 100% the other guy...and you can tune into FOX news, MSNBC or CNN and hear about the half assed science behind all of this........
Just the way our great country was founded and based on........
.....not
Free everything for everyone........but we have to know what you are doing, saying or thinking to keep you safe from those "evil doers" out there and everyone else is out to get us so we gotta jam our noses up their asses too......Forget about the planet or "science" anyone that can think even a little bit can see we are on a bad trajectory in this country...but the "lefties" and "righties" will follow this ship right into the iceberg....classic denial mode is on....sheep are scared and following .....
Little do they know that its just probably speeding up the process towards the end. That's what people should really be afraid of, 2015 and we still don't know how to conduct ourselves...in fact, we have regressed as a country...that's the real scare. Echoes of the "Roman Empire" come to mind, cause right now, that's where this thing seems to be heading. Oh yeah, and they thought they were "smarter" than everyone else too so they "tried" to "rule the world"...it worked out splendidly.......
