Special Interests

[TheBalancedRepublic]

Perhaps you will join our action to remove special interests from the election process? some of you will understand and support this new idea. We looked for a solution at the ROOT of the problem. We think we did it BUT it is different. If you get why this is important, show some support [thumbs, too] google The Balanced Republic Regards and Good Luck

Every time you walk or ride a bike instead of drive, it's like telling big oil to suck it.

[JonThm]

Life takes in all the organic carbon it can get, down to 2 ppm!

[isawanangel2]

@JonThm you must have missed the opec guy on bloomberg saying oil was unsustainable, i bet you warm up your food in styrofoam & eat the toxins that leach into the food, too, right?

[JonThm]

All the ecological problems today, have nothing to do with CO2. GW was just PR by nuclear power. Wrong and fatal!

[isawanangel2]

go tell your tea party friends of newt gingrich they're rallying for big oil & dirty coal

[JonThm]

'climate change' is PR by nuclear power

[isawanangel2]

@JonThm hahaha..tell that to the sinkhole victims, flood victims, it snowed in all fifty states, oh and the department of defense has studied climate change since 1994, i bet you think there's no hole in the ozone, no deformed fish in the tar sands, and no estrogen in the water from excessive soy which mimicks the hormone in men, dont ignore the clean air act & clean water act violations please

[JonThm]

@isawanangel2 None of the probelms you talk about has anytthing to do with CO2. Which supports all life on Earth. included YOURS!

[isawanangel2]

@JonThm you are ridiculous, please search black carbon pollution

[buttmunChx33]

i cannot believe this is banned. this is the truth and everyone needs to see it

[buttmunChx33]

(banned in the US, that is)

[magnusea]

No, this is a lie, because it implies that oil industry is something bad. Oil Industry makes good energy, and the small amount of completely clean non-toxic life bringing CO2 will contribute to plants growing.

.

Al Gore will increase his fortune from 100 to 1000s of dollar if he succeed with this ad, but it's wrong to ban it -- on that I agree!

[nua4s]

In the meantime, we can buy carbon offsets at carbonfund website. Its pretty cool, you can offset your car and air travel. You can also choose the 100% offset option or donate clean power.

[dadoody]

You guys didn't include Nuclear power.

The French have been able to build SAFE and RELIABLE Nuclear power........why are we in the USA behind the FRENCH?!?!?!

[HKK91]

Exactly. Nuclear power is a good alternative. However we need to figure out how to dispose of the waste.

[DeanMcLean]

if you want an important book, read "The Long Emergency" by Howard Kunstler.

and it doesn't matter how much oil is in Alaska, it matters how quickly we can extract it. There's plenty of oil left on earth, the problem is that very soon it will be impossible to extract enough of it to keep up with demand. That's what the concept of peak oil is about- rate of extraction, not amount.

[olistostrome]

Pure Bullshit

[FatherofAlexis]

20 yrs isn't a long time. Also, that's 20 yrs a current usage rate. The rate has grown exponentially. Fossil fuel is not a long term solution.

[KillaKev206]

THIS SHit is just propaganda. the goverment wants you to buy these "clean

"cars that Are ridiculously expensive. There is no Oil crisis in america. do soem reasearch alaska ALONE has enough oil to To run the united states for ATLEAST another 20 years turn off your fuckin Tv quit watching the New pick up a book Much Love

[labby2]

Yes, but what happens AFTER those 20 years? Oil WILL NOT last forever.

[ThoughItSeemsSoReal]

anyway, if the government wants you to buy "clean cars" (by the way, why should they want you to? they make good money with taxes on oil) why did they ban the ad in america?

[qerplonk]

Guys, I know clean energy sounds awesome. But it's going to bankrupt us, and make it impossible for third world countries to develop. Drastically raising the cost of energy will slow our economy down to a crawl. Plus, particulate matter in the atmosphere is down 53% since 1970 anyway. Image search "EPA particulate matter" for the graph. We got cleaner air because we're rich enough to produce and use more fuel efficient vehicles, appliances, etc. Clean energy will make the environment worse!

[cris750]

Here is one component of the NEW ECONOMY: Tesla Towers! before we start a space program also.

[Firesprink72]

We already have a space program, haven't you heard about it?

[Ravenkiko]

Spread the word! Thank-you for posting this, people need to know the truth about how bad our energy crisis is getting, and how we are affecting the environment for everybody.

[PhdArditM]

Very easy to advertize, but how to relize?

[phira360]

Oh My Go* I have to know what song that is!!!!! Its soo good

[TonyTuthill]

SMART Grid-Tie inverters are here($250.00)! 1) hook up renewable energy source 2) PLUG into wall! DONE. sell unused energy back to the utility (purpa laws). Micro wind turbines (200.00 and cheaper).

Also consider:

- RF/EM harvesting

- Piezoelectric materials to make energy

- hydro turbine PIPES for homes

- Wind turbine wall paneling for homes

- wind/solar roofs

- grid tied lawn and garden art

ALSO: Wi-Fi energy transfer. NO MORE Poles and wires.

EVERYTHING IS ENERGY

Powerful, powerful message. Sad that ABC won't air it...

[cris750]

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

[exaey2626]

abc sould air this ad

[buffy1rox]

Why don't you talk about other countries as well as America? I live in Australia and the hole in the ozone layer is right above us. I like that video, why don't you advertise it on TV?

[fireofenergy]

CSP and EGS are the only two UNLIMITED sources of clean baseload power available with today's tech.

CSP can support an all electric world and can help reduce negative albedo by use of billions of mirrors after its decommissioning.

EGS can support thousands of such global populations by using Earths heat!

Then, all countries will become part of a true space based race. Only then will there be evolutionary success past pretentious and greedy human nature... And asteroids, ect.

i'm glad that there is people out there working actively to promote the green awareness and the culture.

People should just now stop covering bad doings with bad doings. Change now, move towards environment sustainability and it will be a win-win solution for us all.

[AnimatorDude1122]

Just fantastic!

[THEMissouriState]

So... why wouldn't ABC air this?

[hand112]

Because there are still naïve Americans who do not understand the role of big oil companies in the global economy. ABC wants to protect the interests of these oil companies and will not publish this.

[THEMissouriState]

That's terrible

[alba245]

The oil mafia. ABC probably fears that heads will roll if they dare cross Big Oil. Thank God for the internet.

[Linsteadite]

One volcano produces more co2 than man not to mention the co2 produced from the boglands in Siberia and methane from cows is 90 percent of the so called greenhouse gases don't believe me look it up.

[turtal46]

Well, kinda right about the volcano thing. One average volcano eruption produces more CO2 then the entire history of automobiles. Man is responsible for roughly 1-2% CO2 change, which is minute compared to your cow example, and is not enough to change the climate. I guess the major thing people are upset about it that the 1-2% isn't a natural occurance =\

[Twirly60]

Al takes money from India and China,to put america in shackes,limiting americas CO2,will cripple your industry,while giving them a free hand in world trade,his foundation is just a front and Man made Global warming a Con Trick,all the inner planets of the Solar System have Warmed up, see any SUVs on Mars

[thunderhorsemountain]

I've used solar 35 yrs wind 25 years and ride a horse. I did not wait for the world to change I am the world and I did. I am no longer in the "generation of thieves" stealing the resources from the next generations who will value them greater than this "one". Come on people re-power your lives, take back the power over "your own" lives. Put that money back into YOUR OWN POCKETS so you can buy things from your neighbors, not give it to "power" companies don't they have enough already??

[KingKurfa]

eventually u will prolly end ur dependence on foreign oil. by just taking control of this 'foreign' oil

[Realizalize]

that is the same line BP(britishpetroleum)

and other power agencies try to ride.

PR and new painting.

whatch out for shell and bp ads.

they were bashing green as treehuggers and stuff...all decades along

but hey now that you can by an image... why not?

[ruoyan75]

While I agree with the ad whole-heartedly, I find it just a little ironic that Gore is claiming censorship after he was p-whipped into all of those PMRC senate hearings in the '80s by Tipper. I'm sure Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) finds his claim of censorship funny after Tipper's witchhunt ruined his band and career.

Big Oil - very bad

Al Gore - not winning any awards either

[born2Bahunter]

Big Oil - very bad

"Al Gore - not winning any awards either"

Who gives a flying fuck about Tipper in the eighties? The issue is global warming and dependence on foreign oil. Not that the Dead Kennedy's got millions of dollars of free advertisement from Tipper. She never ruined their band.

Get over your "I have to hate Al Gore" hillbilly ways!

[ruoyan75]

I guess the subtle irony was lost here... Repower America is not an Al Gore group anyways. He has done some decent things recently and in the past, but he has also been forced into some garbage by his wife, his choice of friends, and his church. And check your history... Biafra was in court for two years fighting the obscenity charges that she spearheaded, bankrupting him. Just in case you haven't noticed, DK is not a Biafra-led band, and hasn't been for 2 decades. The word of the day is IRONY.

[born2Bahunter]

"Repower America is not an Al Gore group anyways."

Typical of the culture of the Klan. It would appear that your "core values" lie solely in the characters of men. As in being spawned by the fore fathers of slavery, Civil War, and segregation. It is always about the person for people like you. Al Gore is not the issue here numb nuts, global warming and dependence on oil is.

But alas the spawn of the culture of the Klan have one perspective, "I am not as bad as that man,..."

Pathetic.

[ruoyan75]

You know what, go 'hunt' for a f-ing clue. I make an idle observation and now I'm Klan culture? An IDLE OBSERVATION. I agree with environ. things Gore is saying these days. And just for the record, I never buy Arab oil, and use as little gas as possible. I have been a hardcore Obama fan for years. I recycle damn near everything that touches my hands. I don't talk about doing good, I do it. I protested NAFTA 15 years ago, and still rebel with a raised fist. If a guy can't make an observation...

[bluemonk611]

I have no beef in this because I'm not going back even one comment to see what this is about... I am curious however how you know that the petrol you use wasn't at some sold sold by an "Arab."

Further.... what exactly is wrong with en "Arab?"

I'm just some dumb Irish guy,.... but I thought lumping all of one people into a group was a sign of ignorance.

[ruoyan75]

My God, is everybody in this blog this touchy. All I did was make a comment about how it was ironic that Gore cried censorship when this ad wasn't aired, and it spins into this... dude, Arab isn't a swear word. I said "Arab oil". Most of the oil comes from "Arabia". I am not putting down Arab people. The reason I used the 4 letter word is that I had a lot to say, and it has less letters than Middle Eastern (14 characters). I am not trying to be a smart ass, but this is getting out of control...

[chunder350]

Apparently this video skipped all the other clean technologies out there. But its better then nothing I guess...

[kgvs72]

What's ABCs reason for deeming this ad controversial? I didn't know telling the truth was controversial.

[nirbija]

Why are hundreds of thousands of lives, limbs, mental health, and TRILLIONS of dollars wasted in Iraq WITH NO BENEFIT?

Because the mainstream media spews 'special interest' propaganda, instead of keeping Americans informed as to that which is best for ALL Americans

Why is America being polluted with & MADE POOR with fossil fuel & war for oil?

Because the mainstream media spew 'special interest' propaganda, instead of informing Americans about that which is best for the nation

Media FAILED USA!

[Chris1345]

I'm surprised ABC is refusing to run this ad. It's not an extreme ad at all.

[CasterRider]

exactly!!!!

[ZenJen]

we need to get rid of lobbyist. end of story!

[calvinjones]

a worthwhile advert...ofcourse they wont show it :-P

[Hollijasmaja]

It's tragically sad that PhotoPatch is probably serious. But it's okay because we can spread the news that there are solutions and voices like this one can become history. Let's not get caught up in the tragedies but stay with HOPE! It's time!

[PhotoPatch]

Of course I'm serious. Explaine to me in your own words what the 'crisis' is? I'm American, does it sound like I approve this message!? -lol

[tickingGear]

Nailed again, even more.

I think we truly cam make it through if we try at least.

Cheers, Jan

[PhotoPatch]

lol- There is NO 'climate crisis' even if there was, we could not do a dang thing about it! Here is the conclusion of this matter: "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man!"

[tickingGear]

At first your comment amused me, then as I recognized it was ment serious it made me pretty sad.

[PhotoPatch]

Why are you sad?

[cklink]

PhotoPatch,

He's sad because you're interjecting God with our climate crisis and you're apparently serious. Get it? Hurricanes frequency/intensity are on the rise because of the increase in the average global temperature, not because this nation tolerates gays and hasn't yet outlawed abortion.

[tickingGear]

You nailed it, thanks.

[meski13]

if you believe in global warming or not we, as human kind, need to stop our dependence on oil as it is running out. So, even if you don't think that global warming is caused by humans simply make the changes to move away from dependence on oil.

[ic756proIII]

I simply do not know if the so called global warming is man caused or is a natural occurance caused by external forces like the sun. Had someone respectable that is, other than Algore, been waving the flag, I might have a different opinion on the subject. As it stands, with the hyprocritical Algor leading the charge I don't yet believe all the hype being spewed out all over the place supporting the global warming therory of Algore.

[remoney]

Why would ABC refuse to air this ad?

[TheVeganHere]

Because they air ads from Chevron. They make huge money from Chevron and I am sure Chevron would not like them airing this ad.

[tomas2420]

because it's against their best interest. their best interest=CASH MONEY. they get paid by companies (who have more money than god by the way)to play their commercials that say the contrary.

[LETHLSS]

remoney - quote: "Why would ABC refuse to air this ad?:

why does the media refuse to tell the truth about anything? fact is they never do, and they're not allowed to.

[602snakepit]

LAME, its not the government buying all the oil. its us the citizens. Wether global warming is as bad as they say or not, it is up to us, not the government to make the changes through our purchases. We are consumers, and we tell the industry what to do through what we buy. The government cant BLOCK ALTERNATIVE ENERGY, they can't force you to buy an SUV and prevent t. boone pickens from building wind farms, ThATS OUR JOB TO MAKE THE CHANGES

[Atevra]

THey make it harder, alot of car manafacturers have halted production of electric vehicles, which were extremely efficient and on the market for a month, because of the OIL companys bribes.

[602snakepit]

i'll need facts to support that, seems more likely that the companies probably had trouble turning a profit and were not sure if CITIZENS would buy enough of these cars. Oil companies cant bribe enough money if the DEMAND for the product is there. if i can sell electirc cars to 80% of the people, Exxon can pay me enough not to,

[Atevra]

Your sources are google. And the demand would exist if the media didn't publish negative (and false) articles about why the "green" technology is worse for the environment. They are only interested in scare mongering. I have seen countless documentary's and heard many story's of people with first hand experience of the media dealing with their stories. Don't get me started on how legal matters and political issues are doctored by the media!

[602snakepit]

by all means, get started, i'm not an expert in this area, so i'd love to hear where i can find out more about this

[GuruPilot]

Global warming is real. We should do something quick, to show american why our economy are falling, its the big oil company that are profiting, WE NEED a new PRESIDENT to change all this, no back-hand shake with the big oil giants. WE ARE PUSHING FOR CLEAN ENERGY. I had sent e-mails to all my friends, written in the forum in a game. So, please, change the idealogy.

[zosma1]

unfortunately global warming is a reality and anyone who can't see that still has the "wool" pulled over their eyes. It is not just our oil consumption we have to change, it is a new way of life that needs to be established...

[fireofenergy]

I think I'm getting caried away... Big oil will probably invest in solar power towers (or something better) after the oil starts to get too expensive anyways. Breeder reactors(nuclear x 100) would be best except for all that easy to turn into bombs stuff, Solar require a lot of parts and jobs, which could actually be a fix for America.

They are traitors to the tune of about 2 trillion$, way more than a simple tax credit for solar.

[szatmar666]

ABC refused to air this?! WOW! Perhaps they can't show cute babies... it's probably too controversial!

Media in Bush's america is nothing more than a government controlled megaphone like in the old Soviet Union.

[fireofenergy]

Energy pay back time... A small fraction of the CO2 emmissions save. Eventualy, they provide enough to build much more needed to save us from oil depletion (and global warming???)

[fireofenergy]

Being trivial such as riding a bike still won't stop big oil unless EVERYONE rides a bike. NO, we are too busy working for all the fucked up fees, you see, "They" took over along time ago and CO2 is for real. So are solar power towers that can (with capital) power the entire planet x 3! with ALL energy needs and e-cars. So now, we can't save ourselves because both parties are TRAITORS! (Or very fucking stupid).

BTY Bin laudin won by exploiting our weekness which was going for the war "bait".

[ScottfromTexas]

The CARBON (from energy and other resources need) needed to make those huge wind generators - how much is that? Funny, they don't mention that.

Both parties are traitors to those who want to returns us all to a serf-like existance. These people look long term. They are still smarting about the American Revolution where INDIVIDUALS were deemed sovereign - not the ruling elite. They want their power back and they are using globalism and climate change BS to implement it.

[sky44david]

National debt owed to China by our grandchildren and their children. We have the highest debt per capita of any known country in recorded time. China is building a surplus as I write this. Research this if it seems to far out. Are we the taxpayers of the US enabling the world's next super power through denial and apathy?

[ScottfromTexas]

So why is it that no one in the government honestly sounds the alarm about our trade deficit? It is more of a certain and looming problem than some unproven theory about man-made global warming.

[ScottfromTexas]

Go to their website they also want :"laws that will sharply reduce emissions of CO2"

In other words, taxing your breath. Forget about a death tax, these parasites want a LIFE tax to "offset" your exhalation of CO2. Look in to it, folks. They want to establish this GLOBALLY, meaning GLOBAL government which will make your Constitution and the rights contained therein null and void. This is a commercial for government money and control.

[raygun07]

what are you talking about "taxing your breath" ?

[ScottfromTexas]

Well, the goal now is to tax CO2 emissions. What do you breathe out?

Watch the "Global Warming Swindle." This is all about scare tactics to get money.

[eaglerod444]

k... so breath tax ... my taxes are higher ... omgomgomg lol.

[ScottfromTexas]

Really? How are they "BLOCKING" anything, eh? They are blocking a thing. You rubes are being enlisted to BAILOUT the inherently unusable technologies that won't provide a scintilla of how much energy we need.

And I would LOVE to know if this faceless entity that wants a GOVERNMENT GRANT (which is what this is ALL about - MONEY) is also concerned about our DEPENDENCE on foreign GOODS, eh? Stop all this crap from China. Funny how that is never pointed out but it makes us vulnerable, too.

BOYCOTT. that's my plan.

i won't support a channel that will readily play ads for companies that are weakening our country but won't play an ad that looks to increase energy independence and national security.

additionally, please don't forget to drive less and only purchase fuel efficient vehicles (or better yet, bus/bike when possible). although the advertising problem is serious, getting an ad on the air is not the end goal.

[IYANDIY]

this vid has a good messege.

This is all about getting the PUBLIC to demand the government does something other than the Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush policies of oil-first.

Remember- no matter WHAT they say, Reagan RIPPED the Carter Solar Panels off the Whitehouse and cut all his renewable energy tax credits.

That's been our "Energy Policy" ever since!

That's why you're paying $4 a gallon and why Europe is paying $8.

Less Oxygen and dirtier air is why there's rampant asthma and sicknesses.

This commercial is beautiful it embodies our desire to a better future and I truly believe its possible and we desperately need it.

[penguinslovehockey]

george bush: well i don't think that the goverment should support alternative energy, mr. cheney.

[numbers93]

At least WE (no pun intended) in the US could make use of water turbines in the east coast or solar in the west, and of course geothermal, magma, and fuel cells. There are tons of innovative ways out there and we can draw from them altogether. Man, I wish Science Channel could broadcast reruns of clean renewable energy more often though the Project Earth ones are not that bad. WATCH GUYS!!! Trust me, you're not a nerd when you do especially with the arrising problems we're facing.

[proverb311031]

You all wish you had a Turbine, Solar or Geothermal in your yard, which supplied all your energy and the extra you could sell for profit. For the greedy at heart think of the money we can make selling our extra electrical energy to the world, since most of the products that we produce can not be bought by most of the world, they cost too much. So why not export our extra energy! With Solar Satellites and Orbital Solar systems we will lead the world in energy. That is the reason we should do it!

[proverb311031]

You all wish you had a Turbine, Solar or Geothermal in your yard, which supplied all your energy and the extra you could sell for profit.

word

[bdarnell1966]

The oil companies have to much money and power, I just dont see it happening in the USA. They will make sure the Republicans hold onto the White House therefore killing out any hope of a energy bill with some sense in it. It it does happen the oil companies will have control of it.

[tmkrick]

I'd like a statement about improving design around energy and materials efficiency. If we design cooperative, mature systems that reuse energy and materials flows, then we need less energy, making it easy to get our energy exclusively from the sun. But in any case, I like the commercial. Somehow I kind of wanted that tower of blocks to come tumbling down and reveal the Repower America blocks in a row, but I'm dramatic.

[avkpierce]

Uh ... that little girl doesn't look like she's "suffering." Yes, we need to diversify our energy and end dependence on foreign oil .... but seriously, this has nothing to do with climate change.

[tmkrick]

we need to end our dependence on unsustainable energy. period. not just foreign oil.

If you include the costs that get externalized onto the public health, pollution "cleanup" costs, & on future generations through the degradation of our environment, then solar, wind, and small scale biomass and hydropower are by far cheaper than all unsustainable energy sources (coal, oil, nuclear, natural gas). Good night.

I like it a lot and hope to see it on tv soon, but I think it is a little bold to say "We're the American people. We approve this message." That screams controversy.

[stopglobalwarming08]

[stopglobalwarming08]

[goby326]

WHAT THE HELL i did not approve this message

[PhotoPatch]

lol!

[delibertad]

This video and even more educational materials need to be spread around and sent to all those dumb, shortsighted people chanting "drill drill drill".. don't people realize fundamental changes need to be made? that peak oil has been reached, and prices are only going to continue to go up, no matter how much pristine American wilderness they tear up and pollute for temporary gains??

The most hard-hitting anti-oil/coal ad ever from the We Campaign!

[IdleGod]

And Nuclear. Can't forget how important nuclear power could be. How clean, and how easy it is. Couple it with solar and wind and tidal generation where applicable, and problem solved.

[animecrazy102]

I agree with basically everyone here, America has to go green, and I know some places are working on it.

[MartinezCenturion]

nice ! hope to see it on TV soon, and get its target ASAP

[WAKeele]

GREAT ad!

I'm on board. Just waiting for the ability to put solar panels on my roof. I'm sick to death of supporting Big Oil and their swath of global devastation. If I had the know-how to convert my car into an electric vehicle (and my house to solar) I'd do it in a heartbeat.  If you want to really make a change... teach us how to do this ourselves. You'd be amazed at how many electric cars - converted by their owners - would be driving on the streets of America today. Show us how to opt out NOW.

I just don't get it. You send me an e-mail asking for money to play this commercial. If you need to repower, like the commercial says, just do it already. Put your millions towards the repowering effort, not a PR campaign. Give out $5,000 coupons for solar panels or something real. I doubt 'big oil' will be able to block that. We can solve it--now let's stop talking and freaking do it already!

[mikedashg]

Did you miss the point?

"If YOU need to repower" ? - No WE need to repower. And the we campaign needs 80K to put the ad up.

The oil industry has billions of dollars, and they spend millions of it blocking clean energy bills through the government. This is a message for the people to get people to change our government.

The government is FOR the people BY the people. But right now it's FOR the people, BY the people who are BACKED by the oil industry.

[SailorBarsoom]

Right. Giving out $5,000 dollar coupons for solar panels may be a good idea, but to do that for millions of people? The we campaign doesn't have that kind of money. Only huge corporations (what are the odds of them doing that?) and government can do that.

What the we campaign CAN do is run ads, get people fired up, and then those people remind the politicians that no matter how much you get in campaign contributions, if nobody votes for you, you're out of a job.

There are a LOT of ignorant people in this country (the U.S.) so we can't just sit around and wait. Germany and is leaps and bounds ahead of us, so the potential has been there for years. There's a lot of people that need a kick in the ass and a slap across the face before they will even start to listening up. This is the kick in the ass for those. I too wish all the money raised in many campaigns were put to more direct use, but when people don't do their homework, we all lose.

Finally! I was hoping to see an advertisement that could counter the slew of "Clean Coal" and "LNG Now" advertisements I've seen on TV. Where are the rest of the environmental groups? I think that groups like the NRDC, Sierra Club, 1Sky, Environmental Defense Fund, and conservation groups around the globe should be pouring money into commercials to dispel the myth that coal is clean and that drilling here and now will solve our climate, energy, and economic crises. We don't have time for games.
