    Carbon has elevated the life of man to levels never dreamed of

    We live better than kings

    I applaud the OG environmental movement for prodding private energy to innovate cleaner methods. Our water and air really did suck and was getting worse. It cost a lot of money to clean up what we have. It didn't just happen

    As is often the case to declare victory or progress cuts off the money train so we have gotten to some pretty extreme places of fantasy when it comes to energy

    Products have to scale for mass use. They can't cause more problems than they solve. So far renewables fail both tests. There is no harm in continuing to explore them but fossil fuels are not our enemy.

    The corruption of science is a big deal.

    years ago there was a special on TV about California trying solar power. Then they hired the energy company to use all that land to put mirrors that follow the sun and heat a reservoir (water tower). I obviously simplified this as much as possible because that was my turning poont for ignoring all this save the world by sustainable energy methods.

    Just follow the money and see who have become millionaires/billionaires on tax dollars saving the world.


    Good thing for me I am old and will have enuff energy around to burn my ass to cinders
