How about we just master fusion, use that to generate electricity for pennies, and then power our (presumably more efficient and with better batteries) electric cars with it. That will save us a step.

I remember there was a water-fuelled car in Popular Science like 15 years ago but I'm presuming it was more like a prototype or just a theory or something.

I couldn't resist... here's some of the... more interesting ones I found

You are little more than a tool of the propagandists' green (money) machine.

Man could neither control nor did he have anything to do with the DRAMATIC climactic cycles that are the natural occurrence of a planet that exists within a rotating scheme rife with forces that include very substantial things such as solar radiation, planetary rotation, gravitational factors and other matters represented on the actual planet itself such as decaying carbon matter, oceans, volcanic and other sub-terra factors.

You live in a vacuum and have absolutely no understanding of the world you live in ... stay in your little box Junior, it's scary out here!

"As far as I am concerned, florida can go sink underwater."

True patriot you are there, you would let Florida fall into the ocean before making any sacrifice. No wonder this country is bleeding.

You would be less dependant to others with green energy. That is one of the real reasons that it has been blocked by the major energy company's for so long. Imagine if solar panel prices started really dropping because the tech for their construction goes up. Oh, no, I guess that would be the end of the Koch industries. They don't want a revolution of energy even if it changes the planet, and threatens our way of life as humans on this planet.

Quote:

Never. Because the people driving it are Big Business and all they care about is the next quarter. If they have to spend a million dollars cleaning up some heinous thing they are spewing into the air, that's a million dollars they can't bonus to their top execs.
The people pushing climate change are the scientists who continue to solicit government grants to produce more and more costly studies, the business people going after government loans to line their pockets with ill conceived "green businesses" (i.e. Solyndra), the leftist politicians who are using the "green agenda" to stay in power, and the poor nations of the world who are trying to leverage it to extort money from the developed nations. Yes, it certainly IS all about money and power.

Yes, it's been hot this year. That doesn't mean it's all man made global warming. There are many factors that go into weather. If next year is the coldest on record, scientists will release new studies somehow attributing that to man-made climate change, too.

In short, we "skeptics" are skeptical of the objectivity of global warming advocates because they seem to twist whatever happens with the weather to support their assertions and end goals.

Nor do they factor in the amount of methane comming from the bottom of the oceans which ha been increasing over the years. And last but not least they don't factor in the earths magnetic feild which has been in a state of flux for some time which causes weaker magnetic feilds that let in more cosmic radiation that also warms the plant more.

Instead of listening to the Liberal media who could care less about truth, go read some scientific journals online and learn some thing for once.

I mean, really, wtf does the sun have to do with how warm the earth is? Nothing, really.

A real scientist would tell you that our huge recorded history of 100 years is too small a sample to deduce anything. Actual data shows the earth has cooled in the past decade. But here come the new EPA initiatives costing us jobs and money. And China and other countries will not adopt these crazy rules. ABC and NBC every night hype the current weather as caused by global warming. The truth is the volcanoes cause more pollution than our cars.

I agree that we need to become more responsible and take better care of the environment, but using the global warming label for every weather phenominon is just ridiculous.

I just don't even... what the flying fuck.


Seriously how the fuck are people so dumb fuck stupid that they think the 'green' side of this issue is big money WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.... THE HELL. (In the comments for that article)

So big oil being in the trillions world wide, is the little guy and those big ole mean greenies (like the hulk) just keep on attacking the poor oil people it's so sad


edit : More seriously, I'm reasonably certain there are a huge number of people paid to spread false information about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the stupid fucks of America.

I could go further in on this, and Snake could probably back me up on this, on how so many on the right are so far indoctrinated that they cannot accept things that contradict, but that is a conversation for another time. I will just say I am happy to have not been part of society growing up. Some of these comments are probably trolls, but there are so many who are so far off the deep end, that they can't find their ass unless their pastor told them where it is.

But also, China is making a lot of greener initiatives because it is better for their economy and they already produce less CO2 emmisions than the States.
