A New Hope for Beating Back the Regressive Green Movement
While watching the video I kept thinking about those nice warm coats they were wearing. They looked to be made of nylon. A man made petroleum product. It’s hard to tell but I would guess the fur collar was also fake fur. There is no way we can get away from oil products.
At this point in time, coal, oil and nuclear are the most efficient means of power. I am all for finding a substitute but that time has not come yet. This girl in the video and those like her are the we want it now group. They have no idea that there is nothing out there at this time that will do the job.
We do have water power in the form of hydro-electric dams and they are very efficient but not every waterway lends itself to that technology. Plus, it would cut off water needed downstream for irrigation and drinking and other uses. Wind power? Yes, we have some of that but the wind farms take up many acres of land and are not very efficient in terms of the amount of power generated. I’ve also read where one wind farm has recently been shut down because some endangered bat flew into one of the propellers. Solar power? Fine for small uses but to generate the kind of power we need you would pretty much have to cover every square inch of land with solar panels.
So, what do we do now? We do what we have always done. We keep using the most efficient source available to us at this time while continuing to search for a better way. Sure, we’ve got ourselves in trouble now and then, like with pollution and nuclear waste disposal, but we’ve always found a way to handle it. It’s just good business to keep your customer base happy and healthy. (Unless you happen to be a drug dealer)That means cleaning up after yourself. Keep your pollution of air and water to the barest minimum while giving the customers what they want.
The girl mentioned fracking and water pollution. Fracking has been around for awhile now and it has not been proved that there is any danger of leaking into the water supply. At least not that I have heard of from any reliable source. It seems to be the safest, most efficient way of getting to the gas we need at this time. If a danger develops, I’m sure another way will be found but until then, happy fracking.
