Only one thing to be thankful for considering these increeedible revelations contained in this clip...That we live here and now before the place is turned into the biggest corporate clusterfuck in history.


..one of the reasons why the U.S. feels it needs a re-vamped health care system??...Because the obese and cancerous make shitty wage slaves?

Pleeease get me started on the state of bullshit stacked 80 stories high while folks wank their lives away trying to make political choices to try and make the world a safer place for humans....Please?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Looks really good - I'll have to watch it, but before I do- let me ask - what the hell do we do?

I'm all for joining the 100 mile diet and eating locally, but something tells me this would just be just an oil drop in the bucket. Our society is so far down the oil-pipe in so many different ways- I don't know how it would be possible to get out.

Ahw this video makes ecotards cry.

It's quite simple and I believe it was stated by a Saudi sheik "The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones, The Oil Age won't end because we run out of oil"

This means that long before oil runs out we will have a better way to power the world. And it will take long for all the oil to run out, much longer than the ecos predict. There a vast amounts of oil in tar sands and shales. Huge new oil fields have been discovered off the coasts of South American countries. Beyond oil there are still higher reserves of natural gas and coal.

If we don't want to have to resort to geo-engineering to restore a warming climate we must find an alternative to fossil fuels long before they run out. So what do we have, wind, water and sun. Only the sun could reasonably provide all the energy we need after a huge industrial effort to build these things in place like the Sahara.
However we also have nuclear energy. There are vast amounts of Uranium that are waiting to be discovered once the demand for Uranium increases. Using a Thorium reactor you could breed and burn fissile material out of Thorium. This process yields much less long lived waste because you basically burn up most of the radioactive materials. Also Thorium is three times as plentiful as Uranium.
This gives Fusion a lot of time to get its act together and finally deliver on the promise of nearly boundless energy.

Creating fertilizer doesn't need fossil fuels. All it needs is nitrogen, hydrogen and high pressures and temperatures (energy).
Al machines can still run on clean fuel cells which were charged with power delivered by the above processes of energy generation.

I'm quite optimistic, I think we are heading for a bright future if we invest in alternative energy and don't fuck up the World too much in the time it takes to get to that goal.
