Your obsession with railing against anyone with power is really revealing. Spoken to your father about that?

Bush was a hypocrite and moron on energy matters, and more than a few others.

So is your bowing before it.

My father is dead but I respected my elders, especially my father, fully, which is more than todays snot-faced punks are expected to do, much less taught.

Quite apart from that, I was wondering whether the individual to whom you refer has ever made a positive post about anything, containing no criticism of anyone or anything.

He clearly has serious issues which are better explored by himself off-forum. While he is an irritant I feel more pity rather than anything else towards him.

Consuming less now (or at any time in the future), and/or radically changing our lifestyles are not viable options. Like I said, who is going to be the first one to sign up for not having their lights come on at night when the wind isn't blowing? Do you know anyone that would sign on for that?

Well, there's plenty of Amish around me that have chosen that lifestyle, but... well, I'll pass thanks. I guess I can't burn a candle, or an oil lamp, or a fire in my fireplace. I suppose we can start handing out those crank flaslights to everyone.

I support this position vigorously:

"I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago."
Edgar Allan Poe AD 1841

He probably wonders the same about your posts that go off the thread topic to instead attack an individual.
Oh well que sera-sera.

I would bet he feels the same about your cretinous adolescent posts.

In a way I admire the Amish, but when you go the areas where they have goods for sale, they know how charge top dollar.

I'm no expert but I go with what I am seeing right now and with what I am learning about nuclear waste now that it is a 'hot" and "radioactive" topic.

No nukes damit!

I could READ 5 pages of this topic, but this sums up what supporters of nuclear power deal with. The hell with facts (no one in North America's 100 plus reactors) has been hurt, killed or exposed to a deadly dose of anything in all the years of nuclear power. 3 mile Island was the only incident really of note, and no appreciable damage was done to the environment at all. Meanwhile, the same genius that thinks nukes are bad has been beating my head in for 5 years on this green house gas emissions stuff. Well...we can have safe clean power that doesn't cause the problem you keep telling will kill us all, or you can have no nukes and more GWG.

I have YET to see anyone of these green fellows plug into a tree and get power...
