Solar generation of electricity may be a good idea if matched to the right electric loads.

One stop Gardens may have blown the whistle on good idea on solar generation of electricty app?

Google ‘solar lights prosefights’ and look for ‘solar lights’.

Interesting that they got the statement backwards, We are enslaved to the machines, their food is coal, oil and gas, and the do well on a diet of the suffering of humans. No better or worse than those who fed the beam engine.

While we may not be able to escape some may avoid the flying debris when the train goes off the cliff.

Profound sentence ‘Machines are our slaves and coal, oil, and gas are their food.’ needs expansion to include: And they don’t do well on a diet of wind and solar produced electricity.

Google ‘Case No. 12-00007-UT’
Google also ‘solar pollution riots china’

Escape is not an option.

Google ‘cornwall mining’

Click on ‘Levant mine’

We may be going back to before the industrial revolution?

There are no brakes on this train, 40 years of listening to the excuses of the best and brightest, nothing has come of it, no reason to to list into ad nausea all the failures of this civilization. Change is coming sooner than you think and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

T.A. Edison commented in the 1930’s that it would be wise to look for alternatives to coal and oil as soon as possible, but here we are.

Apology not required nor accepted.

The thing many people are just now beginning to understand worldwide is that violence breeds violence, injustice breed injustice.  And in the opposite direction, the alternatives breed better outcomes:  knowledge and understanding breed more widely spread, deeper knowledge and understanding, and successful attempts to bring about more justice lead to more successful attempts to bring about more justice.
  It’s too soon to give up, IMO.  And even if I’m wrong, I’d still rather go down working for knowledge, understanding, justice and better lives for as many as possible as soon as possible. What else is more worth while? What else makes life more worth living.

Ozark:  I agree with you about this site.

It reeks of dirty (US government) money now.

The radioactive colonization of Native America has constituted the last phase of the Indian Wars (sic). 

Some whites have had to die in the process of the campaign, but the US government considers that it is a small price of collateral damage to pay as they try to eliminate that pesky last 5 percent of us….

Don’t count on solar or wind generation of electricity to get the world our of possible future power problems.

“I hope we develop clean, renewable energy sources soon, or that you and your generation figure out how to do that quickly”

Why don’t you tell your grandchildren the truth old man? That there is no hope for them!

This letter is just a bad joke by some lame square, right?

On behalf of my generation, i want to apologize to all future generations for spending all their money upon our shovel-ready projects.

Ozark

always love reading your tripe. libretarians and conservatives always have the same mantra, “I’m gonna do whatever I want, to hell with everybody else. To hell with the future.”

On behalf of my generation, to all of you who visit this website, I want to apologize for the lopsided mess that Truthdig has become.

The fat lady has not sung yet—and hopefully, when she does sing, it won’t be the “Star Spangled Banner.”

Agreed, BrilliantBill. 

Mr Ward, your fulsome apology is neither necessary nor useful.  Your grandchild is not likely to die in her bed (or anyone else’s).  Her fate is much more likely to be a premature death by starvation, disease, or violence as the habitable world shrinks and dessicates.

I’d urge you to revisit your politics and become a fang-and-claw radical.  We need to get rid of feudalism (currently manifesting as private-profit capitalism) root and branch, and make post-partum sterilisation mandatory all the world around after 0.5 live birth per person.

Otherwise, Dr Lovelock’s prediction will be the fate of your granddaughter, my great-granddaughter, and all the other granddaughters of all the other high-order species on Earth:  a world that no longer supports our kind of life.

Put down the keyboard, the sackcloth, and the ashes, and get weaving.

Not all free market conservative capitalists are bad people; but the vast majority of bad people are free market conservative capitalists! FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!!

I’m sure Mr. Ward means well, and I’m sure he’s personally doing what he can to “save the planet.” However, this comes across as embarrassingly self-important and self-indulgent—so much so it makes me cringe.

Perhaps the antidote is George Carlin’s observation that this planet will simply shake us off like a “case of bad fleas.”

Personally, I’m sorry about World War 2.  I know I hadn’t even been born when it started, but somehow I could have tried harder, bouncing around out there in the void, I’m sure.
