I think when there is no force involved to "be green", or, "go green", environazis are not interested, or turned on. Their solutions all involve "force", on purpose. I don't think it's about "whats better for us all", but rather, I think, for the envirowhacks, it's about "whats good for you". You wanna be a capitalist resource raper or capitalist consumerist? Take this!, and then they pass capntrade or empower the EPA. Al Gore is speacial though, he owns ocean front prop. he wants 2 draw checks
that is the way to go. use green for the right purpose. and yes. when it comes to the government, it is always about money. when it comes to the environmentalists, it is about one specific things
i think it is time for all of us to consider more of our earth and the future for our children. we can get in trouble by putting ourselves in a hole but there are real solutions out there for us.
nice vid voodo what i think they should do is put hydro plants by water its the most efficient alternative energy and where they cant put hydro throw in nuke or wind i mean there is as much uranium on the earth as there is tin. but wouldn't it be nice if they actually took action instead of sitting on their asses all day counting our money?
Once again you are right on. It's like listening to myself. People are soooo dumb they are lead like sheep. The media backs up these lefties and the public eats it up. The oil spill that has changed our life forever is on the environmentalists too.They made the oil companies drill that far out where a leak is almost impossible to stop.Thanks great stuff!
Trees renewable, Plastic (AKA Oil or petroleum products) also renewable, but much much longer to create. The Forest service has wasted millions if not billions on "controlled burns" to burn dead fall and blow downs, when the dead fall and blow downs could have been used by folks for fire wood and For Free and no cost to Tax Payers if the silly bastards would just advertise the availability of the wood and directions to the property where the wood needs to be removed.
You hit the nail on the head when you said "personaly, I think its about the money". The Political class has learned the easiest was to more power is to ensure the people are afraid of something. So the government is always looking for the next big scare. The enviromentalist have learned the best way to make money is from government grants and subsities, and they can provide an endless supply of doom and gloom for the government.
i so want to go solar with my house. i am kind of annoyed though with my electric company. many electric companies provide a credit when ur tied into the grid and u generate more energy than u use. my local company just steals my energy. corporations need to do their part 2
Sorry in advance for the long winded response. This conversation was very interesting and thought provoking.
I think there is a difference between “Green” and being environmentally responsible. The tax from the carbon cap and trade legislation is nothing more than a power and financial power scheme aimed at redistribution using the “crisis” of “global warming” which is nothing more than a fabricated hoax.
That said, I think it is important that we act individually and practice environmentally sound lifestyles. I am of the mindset that we don’t need government involved in that process . . . especially not under the false pretence of global warming.
Now, I am always looking to learn, improve and change (not Hope & Change). I used a local mail service to package up 4 of my logo ammo cans. I had no idea of what they use for packaging materials. My lesson: in the future ask for recyclable packaging and if not available do it myself!
Paper and wood fiber products are a renewable resource and recyclable. It is unfortunate that forestry and wood fiber production is essentially shackled due to the environmentalists and politicians. This has little to do with the environment and everything to do with money, influence and special interests.
Solar is not as “green and clean” as most folks think. The very manufacturing of solar panels uses dangerous chemicals and produces unacceptable levels of pollution. This manufacturing is done off shore, so not really “visible” to the good U.S. citizen concerned with “chemicals and pollution”.
All they see is the panels on the roof providing “clean” power to a bank of batteries. How do we manufacture the batteries, copper wire, metal housings and computer circuitry for solar power? Energy and processes from coal and petrochemicals. The same concept holds true for wind power. Wind generator blades are made of either fiberglass (petrochemicals) or aluminum which requires coal and petrochemicals to mine, smelt and forge.

You hit the nail on the head, tax payers subsidize most of the “green” businesses. Subsidized green businesses are in it for the governments green, as in green backs. Plus the consumers have to pay more for crap. How about those electric cars? You have to have a special outlet installed to charge it. The fallacy they sell is that we already have electric at our homes. Truth? BUNK! The electric company has to burn more resources to make more electric to charge those cars. More coal being burnt.
@rlhunter1 Google: China Sunergy 2Q Profit Soars As Demand Rebounds
"The solar industry is expected to benefit from rising demand in the U.S. and abroad, as falling solar-panel prices and clean-energy requirements generated greater interest. Earlier this week, GT Solar International Inc. (SOLR) and Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR) posted better-than-expected results in the latest quarter as revenue improved."
We live in a dynamic world today and, unfortunately, no longer set the agenda.
@MadBadVoodo Wall Street - Designed to extract as much money from as many as possible. Since 1980, how many financial/economic crashes have there been? And, of course, (R) were at the helm for 20 of the 28 years. The only period of economic stability and declining deficits/debt was 1992-2000. Thanks Bill.
I believe most ppl will do the right thing, if they're informed. Company's, on the other hand, will never do the right thing when it come to safety or for the enviroment untill there is no other option then they'll poke their chest out and scream how great they are for doing it. So peanuts and cap and tax is not a good comparison. Paper vs plastic - I believe we need to be good stewards of our planet, so both bags have impacts, what is the right thing to do?? Im not a lefty or a righty on these.
I like the message in this video, and I truly agree with your point. But the dang noise of munching on peanuts drives me nuts lol...Partly cause I want some damn peanuts!
Lefties are always saying we need to be more like the "oh so sophisticated and nuanced" French. Well, for over 50 years they've gotten 80% of their power from nuclear plants. Isn't that a start?
The missus and I recycle and use cloth shopping bags, not out of ideology so much because my mom taught me that it's a shame to waste. I still get some plastic grocery bags when I need some to line small wastebaskets (instead of buying 'em). But it's my own choice, because it's sensible, and not because I'm afraid the world is about to end. I still think that there is a bonanza of almost pure raw materials in old garbage dumps, for the ones to "mine" it. =^[.]^=
I think we should have solar panels on the tops of houses like the Germans. Just use it to heat the water or something. When I lived in Germany thats what we did.
The only way to please everyone is to kill oneself. Even then you will be dirtying up the planet with your corpse. Plastic bags are SO bad for the environment. Peanuts on the other hand are wonderful. They work for packing, and then you eat them. No birds will die, and the landfills have more room in them. No half-life with peanuts. Given the choice, most intelligent people will do the right thing.
You can use those other peanuts to make a cheap napon...assuming you have a need for napon, lol. You can also use them for other things, but I still like the real peanuts for packing, as long as the person getting it is not allergic, lol. Everyone keep that in mind if you want to use them. Make sure the reciever is not allergic.
I laugh every time the news shows how much progress scientists have made by turning algae into fuel! Even if it works, decades will pass before it can be on the market. Watching you eat peanuts made me thirsty Richard! Lol! Thanks for the vid!
Very Kool Of Jeff . I'm all for progress . But you can't do it overnight . All the new tech stuff is great .But you have to have the systems well in place and tested before you can change . It will still take decades to it . Thats the reality of it .
There made of polystyrene the packing peanuts and I think that the government at nuts controlled by other nuts and the thing that we the public are the one that are nuts for following something they told us was once right but now wrong like where the bad nut in the bag lol .
AIDS was going to kill us all back in the 80's. Responsible scientists who said AIDS would remain the disease of the high-risk fringe were attacked and ridiculed. Those same LIBERAL ACTIVIST-SCARE TACTICS are being used today with "CLIMATE CHANGE" to take away our rights and force a SOCIALIST AGENDA. Don't fall for it...
sucks if you were allergic anf you open a box full of penuts and it kills you, that would suck, but i like when they use recycled packing paper, that way i can reuse it or just toss it in the black paper bin
the long term overall costs of cars so overshadow tax payer financed green jobs that you should quit bitchin bout their fuckin startup money. and wheres some linx bout this subsidized and tax payer funded green job shit?
all the dealths from cars & the birth defects from their production, $ to build nat'l smooth highways...yeahs cars didnt cost shit.
we used to have an impressive rail car system in this country.
those fords....cheaper and reliable? (reliable fords huh? you really wanna defend that statement? we could have such fun w that! and is that why you own a dodge and a chevy? uh huh)
cheaper in the long run..the car...ffs man youre high. cars have cause nothing but damage. pollution involved w every single aspect of production. dirty money. bad structure for the economy. and then theres the cost of the oil and gas. how much has irag and afghan cost (the) US so far?
the % of $ spent on alt energy vs conventional is ridiculously skewed. it doesnt get anywhere b/c it cant. but its cool, other countries are bout to punk the SHIT out of us. check out the wave project in cornish bay UK. china is also bout to start reaping benefits of alt energy. the us will be embarrassed.
when the hell to "righties" admit fault? lol when testifying b4 congress?
was that ford really cheapest in the long run when you consider everything affected from health costs, cleanup
b/c most americans are stupid sheep who dont care. its how we got this fucked up to begin with.
oh boy, partisan adversary fun. quit blaming dems. blame ppl. (ftr environ's and dem's not necessarily same thing, not good to use those words interchangeably)
btw, those peanuts are just carbs and fat. you may as well be eating doritos.
they also make "peanuts" or packing material out of corn starch and they are water soluble and not an issue.
as for the GREEN thing..I'm not a fan. the ear has survived us as the ants walking on the surface of the beach ball and we CANT fix it or ruin it to any great degree.
seeya
Dude
P.S. arrogance in government is fixed by limitations in FUNDS AVAILIABLE!!
I would have eat the peanuts and packed your gift in the shells. I would guess that the peanuts cost more than the normal packing material. I had received a package that came with pop corn as packing material.
great vid!! The left has always and will always mask their agenda under a vail of greatness and this is a perfect example. When you peel away the layers of "good doing" you find a power hungry group committed to getting their way at all costs.
If you take gasoline and mix in Styrofoam peanuts together in the right proportions, you get a thick gooey viscous "Poor Mans Napalm" great for cocktails.
How much did it cost to send those packages across country by UPS versus the "carbon footprint" costs? Exxon/Mobil is in favor of a carbon tax. Go figure? Change the title to "The Green Mile." "We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long." -- Old Paul Edgecomb.
It's like sick care in this country. When people are healthy, they don't make the right choices and save for the day when intervention may be needed to try and help mother nature help themselves. The heath care system makes money off of the sick and desperate. With non-renewable energy, we don't conserve and prepare for the day when fossil fuels will disappear or we disappear because of the Toxic America that has been created. You forgot about tetraethyl lead in gasoline and the EPA.
Coal mining can result in a number of adverse effects on the environment. Surface mining of coal completely eliminates existing vegetation, destroys the genetic soil profile, displaces or destroys wildlife and habitat, degrades air quality, alters current land. During actual mining operations, methane, a known greenhouse gas, may be released into the air. Do you think greenhouse gas is something made up? Should we try to find alternatives to processes we know are destructive? I think so.
i agree, cap and trade is bs meant to make rich people richer by selling fake "carbon credits". nevermind the fact that the earth has had historical periods with much higher levels of co2 in the atmosphere, generally accompanied by rampant plant growth and proliferation of the animals that eat them. not that i think people should just say "screw the environment" and dump waste oil in their backyards and burn tires, but the co2 stuff is manufactured bullshit.
My family is from Arkansas, so I am all for killing trees! TRUE envirnmentalists want paper, and wood products. And like CO2. and want modernization and progress.
Fake environmentalists and closet socialists want less wood products, less CO2 and want us in a pre-industrial economic state.
Solar would be good, IF it had a better ROI. When it costs $3k to save $30 a month that is not going to work. To satisfy the next 20 years we need 40 quad reactor nuclear plant starts today.
The company I work for pays an extra charge to get our power from windmills! Crackes me up because it all comes from the same grid anyways! The windmills are like 30 miles from us. All in the name of claiming green!
On the bag issue, don't for get the "Reusable Green Bags" you know the ones made to be brought back to the store and reused. The problem there is companies are just using this fad as a way to sell their logo or brand on their "green bags" Honestly I feel better about using the paper bags at the store that are made from recycled paper anyways. I then use them at home as recycling bags/bins for under the sink and desk. I then just throw the full bags right in the curbside container.
They also make the packing peanuts out of rice, like the ones that USNERDOC used. You can actually eat them, I've done it. They taste like rice paper. The best part is you can just dump them down the drain or toilet.
traditional power generation can be replaced by alternative sources ie.,. solar and wind right now. The current b.s. economy of costs, or rather over pricing is the b.s. reason it hasn't been. Solar is 10% as efficient now on the market as is the reality of the technology. It is kept low to keep it un affordable in mass on purpose. The big 3 energy companies keep the monopoly strong thru their bought puppets in the government.
I generally agree with you, but you are wrong about subsidies. Fossil fuels receive about $75 billion through various tax credits and government programs while green energy sources only receive about $20 billion. Fossil fuels are a much larger business though so one would expect the total to be larger. It turns out that on a percentage basis they are pretty even.
You are right though that we ought to throw out all the subsidies and allow the consumer to decide what make the most sense to them.
@MBV thats a great idea on how to package gifts and such !!!!! I hate how we are projected to be green people when we the world are not educated on proven this new power energy will react with us the world people !!!! I do believe wind and solar power has its place in society we just need to get on board and deal with new ways to live our lives without wasting money !!!!! Great vid brother !!!
I pay my county taxes when they come pick up trash (which I pay for) they will fine me if they find a bottle in the trash and not in the recycle bin. That's crazy.
I like that. Welcome to the peanut Gallery. Jeff is pretty smart. A lot of these people in high positions have no common sense. But we can build our houses in such a way that they are cheaper. Just like using rain water. They are ways to build solar panels. I don't know how good they do on the small scale. But we could just as well if we wanted to a different design of house. But we don't want it. We don't choose it. I like your point. Nice video!
As always MBV, great video. I'm no tree-hugger by any stretch of the imagination; however, I think what Jeff did is a pretty damn good idea. (Are Al Gore and Maxine Waters going to push legislation to tax our "styrofoam peanut" footprint? Maybe start trading styrofoam peanut credits?) I agree with you Rich, Americans will do the right thing without having ridiculous laws shoved down our throats. Even us non tree-huggers use the recycling bins. Your example of paper vs. plastic bags sums it up.
The Oil companies are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common ppl.
We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity now.

Plus the consumers have to pay more for crap. How about those electric cars? You have to have a special outlet installed to charge it. The fallacy they sell is that we already have electric at our homes. Truth? BUNK! The electric company has to burn more resources to make more electric to charge those cars. More coal being burnt.

@rlhunter1 Google: China Sunergy 2Q Profit Soars As Demand Rebounds
"The solar industry is expected to benefit from rising demand in the U.S. and abroad, as falling solar-panel prices and clean-energy requirements generated greater interest. Earlier this week, GT Solar International Inc. (SOLR) and Evergreen Solar Inc. (ESLR) posted better-than-expected results in the latest quarter as revenue improved."
We live in a dynamic world today and, unfortunately, no longer set the agenda.

I believe most ppl will do the right thing, if they're informed. Company's, on the other hand, will never do the right thing when it come to safety or for the enviroment untill there is no other option then they'll poke their chest out and scream how great they are for doing it. So peanuts and cap and tax is not a good comparison. Paper vs plastic - I believe we need to be good stewards of our planet, so both bags have impacts, what is the right thing to do?? Im not a lefty or a righty on these.

The missus and I recycle and use cloth shopping bags, not out of ideology so much because my mom taught me that it's a shame to waste. I still get some plastic grocery bags when I need some to line small wastebaskets (instead of buying 'em). But it's my own choice, because it's sensible, and not because I'm afraid the world is about to end. I still think that there is a bonanza of almost pure raw materials in old garbage dumps, for the ones to "mine" it. =^[.]^=

The only way to please everyone is to kill oneself. Even then you will be dirtying up the planet with your corpse. Plastic bags are SO bad for the environment. Peanuts on the other hand are wonderful. They work for packing, and then you eat them. No birds will die, and the landfills have more room in them. No half-life with peanuts. Given the choice, most intelligent people will do the right thing.

It's like sick care in this country. When people are healthy, they don't make the right choices and save for the day when intervention may be needed to try and help mother nature help themselves. The heath care system makes money off of the sick and desperate. With non-renewable energy, we don't conserve and prepare for the day when fossil fuels will disappear or we disappear because of the Toxic America that has been created. You forgot about tetraethyl lead in gasoline and the EPA.

Coal mining can result in a number of adverse effects on the environment. Surface mining of coal completely eliminates existing vegetation, destroys the genetic soil profile, displaces or destroys wildlife and habitat, degrades air quality, alters current land. During actual mining operations, methane, a known greenhouse gas, may be released into the air. Do you think greenhouse gas is something made up? Should we try to find alternatives to processes we know are destructive? I think so.

i agree, cap and trade is bs meant to make rich people richer by selling fake "carbon credits". nevermind the fact that the earth has had historical periods with much higher levels of co2 in the atmosphere, generally accompanied by rampant plant growth and proliferation of the animals that eat them. not that i think people should just say "screw the environment" and dump waste oil in their backyards and burn tires, but the co2 stuff is manufactured bullshit.

My family is from Arkansas, so I am all for killing trees! TRUE envirnmentalists want paper, and wood products. And like CO2. and want modernization and progress.
Fake environmentalists and closet socialists want less wood products, less CO2 and want us in a pre-industrial economic state.
Solar would be good, IF it had a better ROI. When it costs $3k to save $30 a month that is not going to work. To satisfy the next 20 years we need 40 quad reactor nuclear plant starts today.

On the bag issue, don't for get the "Reusable Green Bags" you know the ones made to be brought back to the store and reused. The problem there is companies are just using this fad as a way to sell their logo or brand on their "green bags" Honestly I feel better about using the paper bags at the store that are made from recycled paper anyways. I then use them at home as recycling bags/bins for under the sink and desk. I then just throw the full bags right in the curbside container.

They also make the packing peanuts out of rice, like the ones that USNERDOC used. You can actually eat them, I've done it. They taste like rice paper. The best part is you can just dump them down the drain or toilet.
ZombieReady556 1 year ago
traditional power generation can be replaced by alternative sources ie.,. solar and wind right now. The current b.s. economy of costs, or rather over pricing is the b.s. reason it hasn't been. Solar is 10% as efficient now on the market as is the reality of the technology. It is kept low to keep it un affordable in mass on purpose. The big 3 energy companies keep the monopoly strong thru their bought puppets in the government.

I generally agree with you, but you are wrong about subsidies. Fossil fuels receive about $75 billion through various tax credits and government programs while green energy sources only receive about $20 billion. Fossil fuels are a much larger business though so one would expect the total to be larger. It turns out that on a percentage basis they are pretty even.
You are right though that we ought to throw out all the subsidies and allow the consumer to decide what make the most sense to them.

I like that. Welcome to the peanut Gallery. Jeff is pretty smart. A lot of these people in high positions have no common sense. But we can build our houses in such a way that they are cheaper. Just like using rain water. They are ways to build solar panels. I don't know how good they do on the small scale. But we could just as well if we wanted to a different design of house. But we don't want it. We don't choose it. I like your point. Nice video!

(Are Al Gore and Maxine Waters going to push legislation to tax our "styrofoam peanut" footprint? Maybe start trading styrofoam peanut credits?) I agree with you Rich, Americans will do the right thing without having ridiculous laws shoved down our throats. Even us non tree-huggers use the recycling bins. Your example of paper vs. plastic bags sums it up.
