Good on these proactive, intelligent and informed people. It's those who make the effort to study and understand who need to be listened to, not self-interested capitalist parasites or self-appointed arm-chair expert wankers and conspiracy theory quacks.
@JakeBlakeProject: communism will never work in reality, and I can't stand Obama. Oh...and I was there. I don't toke, either. Try again.
@pcrase2: no sh*t sherlock. why don't you tell me about the differences between active and passive solar, studies in imitative form for wind mills, and the feasibility of biomass in different areas of the country based on the different ecosystems.
What happens when the wind doesn't blow? What happens when the sun doesn't shine? Earth's environment is cleaner today than 100 years ago. True fact! And while the US creates more trash and consumes more of everything, we are simultaneously creating the wealth that feeds/houses most of the rest of the world. How many wind mills and solar farms would it take? How invasive would that be to the environment and open spaces? Biggest culprit of C02 in the atmosphere is dying plants and vegetation.
@luke55664 You use fossil fuels and nuclear as a back up to renewable. But to use finite fuels that foul the environment as a primary source is ill advised. Not only because it funds international terror and causes wars or puts carbon and plenty of foul stuff into the air but because it's going to run out.

Luke these kids would rather we deal with it now while we still can.
@ebecker2000 Got it all figured out have you? Try crunching the numbers. You may have an epiphany! Also you may want to review the July 2009 Co2 report. Then try and not lecture people about what you only think you know....Have a nice day.........
@briteenough2burn Yep You summed it up right. Apparently we, who are not of their opinion are dead set on destroying our own and our childrens future. Well , if they say it's so, it must be true . Or perhaps you have a different take on YOUR own opinion. AND that's got to be wrong, because you aint them. YOU simply cannot disagree.
@maximus505 I'm with you 100% - this convention wasn't organized with the intention to take over the energy systems overnight. Yes, we want a clean energy economy and Obama said himself it's the right direction. So we're destroying jobs - give them one of the 1.7 mil. jobs we're creating that won't alter their health. Of course environments evolve and adapt their niches. The problem is that this isn't a natural cycle, we're actually changing the composition of our air and contaminating our water
Sooooo, what do you do with all of the caustic, contaminated, highly toxic batteries once the electric cars are not usable anymore? At least aluminum engine blocks can be recycled. Also, who the heck wants a bunch of windmills all over the place? Certainly not any of the Kennedy's. And, aren't solar panels made from petrolium products as well? Is there enough sunlight in Washington State for solar? Just looking out for the libs out there.
Let some clueless kids feel good about themselves and talk about "climate justice" and how a small minority of political hacks show "what democracy looks like".
I agree generally with the anti-lobby stuff but it's interesting how a lobby group like greenpeace can get away with their political agenda and propaganda.
You must have been to college to believe that wind mills, biofuels and solar panels are more sustainable than conventional energy.
Great idea Wrong Direction. Renewables must come from Private energy . the Government must have the Responsibility to to allow no Foul Play in the Free market to let this happen.
@BlackAndRight 1st. I didn't vote for Obama because I knew he would continue with the same imperialistic agenda. 2nd. Since when did the Sun destroy mountain tops with machinery? Since when did the Sun pollute our air and water? Since when did the Sun fund billionaire capitalists who have no concern for the wellbeing of the american citizens? There is no debate that our addiction to fossil fuels is dangerous. We need clean energy and green jobs now.
Spain embraced your green agenda. Spain is broke. The crew that shot this video said that it was tough to breathe due to being downwind of the body odor. If the Green hats can't take care of themselves, there's little to show you can take care of a planet.
And when you decide to live on a mountain top, then it will be a problem.
I guess you removed my comment because it made too much sense?
The fact that you have zero concern for the environment is alarming.
I suppose we'll just keep on drilling and mining until nothing is left. We could prepare for the future, but what's the use, it just costs too much money. Oh and pollution, who cares about that? We don't need clean air and water.
@maximus505 Apologies, I was attempting to remove a duplicate comment. Believe me, there's nothing you bring to the discussion that's threatening. I've interviewed climate scientists who insist polar icecaps melt... in the summer. They renew their mass during the winter. Wanna guess what satellite photos you are shown?
And if corporations are so greedy and there's really so much money in wind and solar, why are they blowing it off?
You talk about environmentalists like they're completely clueless.
When a massive chunk of ice breaks off, does it float back and reattach in the winter? Heck, why did it break off in the first place?
That's the problem, there is no money in wind and solar. Do you know why? Because there's still billions to be made from fossil fuels... at least until they run out.
Honestly? What is the conservative game plan? Is everything just fine right now? Is there any concern at all?
@maximus505 The problem is the eco people want us 2 switch over 2 a technology that just isn't here yet. We can't drive an electric car (which takes fossil fuels 2 produce said electricity 2 power it) N the amount of time a regular gas powered car can. The technology needs 2 b there first be4 we can move forward. Trust me, no conservative is antirenewable energy it's just not a possibility at the moment. So let's work w/what we got N hopes that the private sector can come up with the technology
Look, I know it's not possible to meet our energy needs with renewable energy right now. The problem is that we aren't making any real changes at all.
We could offset our fossil fuel dependence significantly with wind turbines along the mountain tops and coasts, residential solar & concentrated solar farms, and localized biofuels programs. As we put more money into alternative energy, more research will be done.
We just aren't making any effort right now - or anytime soon...
@maximus505 Yeah but in order for that to happen the economy needs to pick up. Right now it's just not feasible in any sense to get this going. And wind and solar energy have been proven to be a bit on the well, flopped side if you will. Wind turbines kill birds and solar power still isn't strong enough to power everyone. Just be patient and the technology, Lord willing, will get there. But don't demonize those who wish to keep fossil fuels around for the time being
@maximus505 During a recession yes that can be true, the rich could get richer etc. But these same rich people who are demonized are the same ones who produce our jobs. What if Wal-Mart, Starbucks, and McDonalds decided to close up shop because these are the very corporations some tend to be against... millions of people would be out of work. I don't mind rich people having money. It's theirs. What I have a problem with is people assuming that the rich's money rightfully belongs to someone else
@maximus505 Massive chunks of ice can break off for various reasons. For example sea ice at the poles "calves" during summer, while it grows over winter time (not matter whether it gets warmer or colder overall in a long period of time). There is a lot of money in "renewables". Government money. The fact that no "green" energy source besides hydroelectric (which isn't that green) can meet the market test shows their inefficiency. Most environmentalists ARE clueless and don't care about facts...
@maximus505 Tell you what, Max: if you want to act all intellectually superior and righteous and call those who aren't enviro-suckers "straight up morons", learn some basic grammar and check your spelling.
