If clean energy is a good thing, Robert Redford's hair isn't dyed.
What we really need in this country is more drilling and more God. Abiotic oil knows no limits. You just have to drill down past 50,000 feet to reach it. The technology is here now to to it.
We DON'T need more regulations and taxes on the prosperity of the working man, and he should be able to drive whatever he pleases. Don't let the liberals kill the V-10!
Free energy has been here for a while ,But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Big change is comming soon!
The answer is thorium. liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors can provide the cheapest, cleanest, safest energy the world has ever seen. They can do this with less then 1% of the waste of current nuclear plants. They produce no co2 and there is enough thorium to power the world for thousands of years. Thorium reactors could be use to produce fuel from air and water (no more drilling). Seek energyfromthorium COM
Final word to @Oldpossum and anyone else who doesn't understand nuclear energy: Check out the website GREENSPIRIT which was founded by Patrick Moore. Who is he? He started GREENPEACE. He left GreenPeace because he realized nuclear energy IS GREEN power! Look it up and THEN we can talk again!
@UsweetLeilani No point to argue with nitwits claiming they "actually work with nuclear scientist (sic) from all over the world, including France", blabbering insulting stupidities that those who warn about the dangers of worst case nuclear scenarios "behave more radical (sic!) than a terrorist does"...
And, since you mentioned "lack of education":
I suggest you check your grammar before posting again.
@oldpossum Yes, Mr. Possum, I have been working with nuclear scientists from all over the world, including France. It's call the Idaho National Laboratory. For your information, it is ALSO where the first nuclear energy power plant in America was built and operated: Arco, Idaho. Look it up!
@oldpossum And yes, you're behavior is radical because you want to take it to the extreme "worst case nuclear scenarios" (sic!) and ignore the potential nuclear energy can bring this country. It provides us medical treatment for cancer, not just energy. Instead, you would rather ban it because of fear and your "nitwit" thinking. I suggest you use a dictionary ~ the Oxford English Dictionary perhaps?
@oldpossum Oh! I realize now that you are someone claiming to be from Switzerland. I guess I should tell you that Idaho is a STATE in AMERICA. I find the irony in that uncanny: A Swedish person telling an American about the dangers of nuclear energy and to check my grammar?
@RealityBallet its been known that fish feel more than humans, you stab a pig, they feel it just like a human when a human gets stabbed, But a fish has greater feeling senses than a pig or human. gazillion fish die violently everyday. So just when they start to go extinct you say poor fish? no, they were poor fish when there was no oil in the water. Now soon they will all be dead,
Millions of barrels of oil enter the ocean each year from unsafe oil tankers at the cost of enormous ecological harm. It's been a criminal offense from day 1. There are 5,300 active oil/gas rigs around the world, nearly 4,000 in the Gulf area alone. The Gulf disaster (not "spill" this word is incorrect) is 1000 times worse than they're telling the public. Govt's & the oil industry are interwined. I don't think the public can stop them, we couldn't before. Only Divine Intervention can.
The technologies are more than ready. It's purely a lack of political will that's keeping us from a more sustainable energy policy. We can't continue to bask in the glory of our post WWII ingenuity. When it comes to renewable energy technologies and their implementation, we are far from #1 in the world! On that note, in what areas of technology are we currently world leaders? It's time for the US to lead again!
@UsweetLeilani, @UsweetLeilani , calling nuclear energy "clean" is outrageous! It never was and never will be. You are quaintly forgetting the enormous, unimaginable dangers a nuclear meltdown of a power plant would produce, let alone the one of terrorists threatening to blow one up. The comparison to France and its energy policy is misleading. Only a small amount of nuclear waste can be recycled, they have no idea what to do with their Plutonium, radiating for millions of years...
I don't understand the "drill baby drill" people. Maybe they sleep in mattresses filled with their own feces. I think America has become too fat, stupid and lazy to do what's necessary to have a real future. So much easier to go buy a muscle car and drive to the shopping mall and pretend that China isn't going to replace us at the top of the world.
We can all blame others but as an Environmental Scientist I want to educate others and say that CLEAN GREEN ENERGY can be found in nuclear energy if America would recycle/reprocess nuclear "waste" ~ Don't believe me? Look at France who as been doing it for more than 30 years and gets 80-PERCENT of power from nuclear: Google it! ~ Share what you have learned with others and DEMAND that USA not be a PRIMATIVE COUNTRY any more!!!

@oldpossum Obviously your mentality toward nuclear energy matches your name: "old" and "possum" because you are making primitive assumptions. I actually work with nuclear scientist from all over the world, including France and you have NOT done any research to back up your statements. You live in FEAR and the "WHAT IF" mentality.
@UsweetLeilani (to Oldpossum) Nuclear energy began in the U.S. We have learned A LOT over the last 70 years. You're still living in the 1950's. Your statement is not only WRONG but it's dangerous because you are misleading others. You're making comments based on your lack of both experience and education. America does NOT recycle/reprocess nuclear waste. It gets buried. For that reason only, you are right.
@UsweetLeilani (to Oldpossum continued) We can recycle ALL but a small fraction of waste and the waste can be reused at least 3 times before it's "disposed" but even that is a very small amount. That is what my mission to educate is about. Only Congress can mandate recycling of waste. We, the people of the U.S., ARE capable of demanding Congress change what Jimmy Carter enacted while President instead of praying to God to save us from this oil spill.
@UsweetLeilani (to Oldpossum continued) America gets less than 20-percent of its energy from nuclear power and the plants we have operating today were built before the 1980’s. They are old and in need of major repairs. Instead we want to ignore them. It’s costing us precious time and money – and our environment to bury our head in the sand. We will all pay the price for our ignorance.
@UsweetLeilani (to Oldpossum continued) I suggest you do some research on sustainable energy and read both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy websites about nuclear power before you post again. Shame on you! It’s people like you Americans should be afraid of because you behave more radical than a terrorist does!
Wow Mr. Obvious what a brilliant statement. Lets all now switch to solar and win and forget all. Maybe the magic green fairy can come down and give us energy. The technology isnt available yet to be economically viable...we all wish it was but your stuck with oil until then.
@JackieEco Wind energy is being compared to the Gold Rush. Just like the abandoned mine shafts and oil drills left behind when the boom busted, the turbines will be skeleton reminders of an era in our nation's history where we RUSHED into something and failed to think about long-term damage. I call wind turbines "visual pollution" and lump them into the same pile as billboards and neon casino signs, blinding us on the horizon.
@UsweetLeilani Thank you for your concerns. However, the reality is clean energy industries have been booming, successful industries in places such as Europe and China for quite some time. Much info about this online. We MUST move forward. Throughout history, we found better ways to do things and implemented them. True progress is using technology while still protecting people's health as well as being conscientious of the world around us. CLEAN ENERGY NOW - something we ALL want:)
@JackieEco Europe (France/Spain/Italy/Belgium/UK) has been the leader. China? Never. They are the largest consumer of fossil fuels. Have we forgotten about the Olympic athletes choking on the air in 2008? International media attention made them wake up. The same will be true for the 2010 Oil Spill in the U.S. Diversity is important. We need to consider ALL aspects of renewable energy but trying to get a jet to take off with energy from a windmill is like trying to take off with a blow dryer.
@UsweetLeilani Thanks, UsweetLeilani. Actually, google "china wind energy" re: China being wind energy leader. Furthermore, using oil harms people’s health, including causing asthma (see “California Air Resources Board” official government site). If they r achieving success w/ clean energy overseas, we can as well. Furthermore, we ALL want clean energy NOW. We can choose 2 harp on the problems & obstacles OR we can choose 2 focus on the SOLUTIONS & achieve progress. Peace to you.
Last time I checked, our young men and women weren't getting killed or wounded by our country's investment in wind and solar energy. Oh well, I guess people being murdered is okay with you as long as it's not you and/or your friends or family. Whatever, lets just keep on spending 10+ Billion dollars a month on foreign wars and leave America's energy security for the next President to take charge on....
Whats clean energy I mean just about any energy creates waste, even wind turbines. I bet no one knew that the wind mills need oil for lubrication, and finds its way back to the ground under the wind mill. Probably nuclear power is probably the only real option if you wanted to power cities and millions of cars running on electricty. That or hydrogen but the automobile would probably be hafe to made out of 90% plastic or something.
@opiumthoughts I agree. The motors and blades are going to wear out. We'll abandon them like automobiles in a junkyard now; rotting and rusting away, spilling contaminants onto our soil. Wind and solar cannot sustain our power-hungry electronics. They are working on fuel cells for cars but collisions with other autos is certain. BOOM! An explosion on the freeway or in your nearby intersection is going to be common place! Lastly, we will need oil to make those plastic automobiles too!
@opiumthoughts Did you know solar energy uses nuclear isotopes to collect radiation from the sun to convert to energy and we also need nuclear power to create hydrogen energy too? It’s true.
@UsweetLeilani Ya I knew but we can't really avoid radiation because its everywhere theres a replacement for oil just won't be replaced in my lifetime maybe. Thats why I suggested nuclear power plants the produce enough power to power cities and if we wanted to replace fossil fuel cars turn them all into electric put its not plausable to just have solar of wind they just dont output enough energy. So if you want something done now thats probably the only solution that I can see.
We simply cannot drill our way into the future. We must instead invest in sustainable alternative energy resources now, before another catastrophic disaster happens, again. Join The Movement & Take Action Against Big Oil!
@kekikamiller Likewise to complain about an oil spill out of THOUSANDS of wells reveals some serious short-sightedness. I'm not even going to bother explaining how ludicrous it is to assume that accidents can't happen or that they wouldn't happen with any other energy source. I'm not even going to waste my time explaining how exaggerated the threat of oil spills are either. By the time Exxon spent millions clearing up a quarter of the Exxon Valdez spill, nature had politely cleaned up the rest.
I am glad that President OBAMA/BUSH announced that he would appoint an independent commission to look at the causes of blow out/9-11 and determine what we must do to prevent this from ever happening again.
We alI know how this will end.
NO ONE IS TO BLAME.
IT WAS A "BAD APPLE" or a "PERFECT STORM
Independent commissions are only useful to determine if the cigar was ACTUALLY IN A VAGINA OR NOT.
What an idiot. Oil spills by drilling occurs very rarely and nature cleans it up fast. Here's another interesting fact : half the oil floating in our seas right now leaks from the ground naturally. Oil always eventually rises.
The fact is humans are massively drilling up oil that is meant to be underground for a very important reason having to do with physics. Another fact is we can go solar so why keep doing this old style way which is causing crazy weather patterns and will kill us if we don't stop?
@kekikamiller This is like a massive illogical leap. It's like trying to invent the hard drive before the data tape or trying to becoming a homo sapiens without evolution. It's just ridiculous to think we can use future technologies that aren't even close to ready yet without following the path of creative destruction (Google it)
@kekikamiller ha! After the huge taxes and duties they pay, they barely have enough to cover the next round of exploration + research and development. Maybe it hasn't occurred to you, oil companies invest huge amounts of money into finding oil, finding replacements for oil, and pay so many taxes and costs that there is no chance in hell any government would give it up. Enjoy oil, it's here to stay. It's Mother Earth's gift to us so that we can keep developing and eventually get out of here.
If mother nature wanted this she wouldn't be sending us warning signs. Imo we won't have a choice. Don't forget all the $ going into advertising and pr, especially now.
@kekikamiller There's no warning signs and I'm not into pseudo-Biblical or communist propaganda. You're having the blinds pulled over your eyes by politicians who want to stay in power longer and tax you more - directly or indirectly. It's all an act called politics. Elitist entertainers like Redford are just helpful pawns for their political friends.
@kekikamiller "Big oil" makes huge investments. Each profit is eaten away in future costs, taxes and investments. And so it continues. As for warning signs from nature, I'm not into religious, hippy or other forms of paranoid language. I'm into post-humanism, taking advantage of nature and science to become more than what we are. If you want to be a caveman scared of some organic natural substance, go ahead.
Caveman? Wth I am in support of ADVANCING technology and you are calling me a caveman. Plus what caveman is scared of natural substances? And how is an oil rig on fire natural and organic? Nothing you say makes sense.
@kekikamiller You get called that for being paranoid delusion and going around using words like "Big Oil", as if adding the word big to something is going to make me jealous. Al it does is reveal your own sexual insecurities about size. If you are in favour of technological advancement you would not have been so ignorant as to assume we can't use oil. OIl is used for more than energy, it is used for the manufacture of many products. I'm not going to take an anti-plastic lunatic serious either.
@aronswritingdeskyt Not to start an argument but to educate anyone reading this. As an environmental scientist I am anti-plastic (for unnecessary, non-medical plastic) because of the PACIFIC GYRE GARBAGE PATCH. Watch videos in Youtube and you'll agree.
@UsweetLeilani I already know of it and it's just another example of environmental paranoia. Compared to the size and depth of the Pacific the garbage barely registers. That's a management issue if anything.
@aronswritingdeskyt The statement that "compared to the size and depth of the Pacific [Ocean] the garbage barely registers" is true. However, the plastic is a permanent reminder to all of us and it grows bigger every day. It's also leaching chemicals into the ocean, harming aquatic life. The chunks of plastic end up in the belly of birds and fish who have swallowed them, mistaking it for food. This is an individual responsibility and a personal management issue, if anything.
@UsweetLeilani True, just need better rubbish collection. But most of that comes from underdeveloped nations in the region where they don't have good refuse collection or recycling. If you want the situation to improve you have to support industrial development, democracy, peace and eradicate poverty. These require energy which at only oil and nuclear can supply enough of. Wind and solar will make these people poorer for a much longer time because the investment costs are very high.
If only President Obama were as liberal as the media talking heads say he is. He does throw the left a bone every so often but unfortunately, he's too centrist and corporate friendly to really make a difference for the environment.
Sadly the last best president we had supporting environmental causes was probably Richard Nixon. Even if he did so begrudgingly and for political purposes.
Oh Robert Redford, you poor ignorant overpaid simpleton. Did you have a nice comfortable private flight to Cannes this year? There is no hypocrisy like hollywood hypocrisy.
If clean energy is a good thing, Robert Redford's hair isn't dyed.
What we really need in this country is more drilling and more God. Abiotic oil knows no limits. You just have to drill down past 50,000 feet to reach it. The technology is here now to to it.
We DON'T need more regulations and taxes on the prosperity of the working man, and he should be able to drive whatever he pleases. Don't let the liberals kill the V-10!

Wind and solar cannot sustain our power-hungry electronics. They are working on fuel cells for cars but collisions with other autos is certain. BOOM! An explosion on the freeway or in your nearby intersection is going to be common place! Lastly, we will need oil to make those plastic automobiles too!

@opiumthoughts Did you know solar energy uses nuclear isotopes to collect radiation from the sun to convert to energy and we also need nuclear power to create hydrogen energy too? It’s true.
UsweetLeilani 1 year ago
@UsweetLeilani Ya I knew but we can't really avoid radiation because its everywhere theres a replacement for oil just won't be replaced in my lifetime maybe. Thats why I suggested nuclear power plants the produce enough power to power cities and if we wanted to replace fossil fuel cars turn them all into electric put its not plausable to just have solar of wind they just dont output enough energy. So if you want something done now thats probably the only solution that I can see.

We simply cannot drill our way into the future. We must instead invest in sustainable alternative energy resources now, before another catastrophic disaster happens, again. Join The Movement & Take Action Against Big Oil!

@kekikamiller Likewise to complain about an oil spill out of THOUSANDS of wells reveals some serious short-sightedness. I'm not even going to bother explaining how ludicrous it is to assume that accidents can't happen or that they wouldn't happen with any other energy source. I'm not even going to waste my time explaining how exaggerated the threat of oil spills are either. By the time Exxon spent millions clearing up a quarter of the Exxon Valdez spill, nature had politely cleaned up the rest.

I am glad that President OBAMA/BUSH announced that he would appoint an independent commission to look at the causes of blow out/9-11 and determine what we must do to prevent this from ever happening again.
We alI know how this will end.
NO ONE IS TO BLAME.
IT WAS A "BAD APPLE" or a "PERFECT STORM
Independent commissions are only useful to determine if the cigar was ACTUALLY IN A VAGINA OR NOT.

What an idiot. Oil spills by drilling occurs very rarely and nature cleans it up fast. Here's another interesting fact : half the oil floating in our seas right now leaks from the ground naturally. Oil always eventually rises.

The fact is humans are massively drilling up oil that is meant to be underground for a very important reason having to do with physics. Another fact is we can go solar so why keep doing this old style way which is causing crazy weather patterns and will kill us if we don't stop?

@kekikamiller This is like a massive illogical leap. It's like trying to invent the hard drive before the data tape or trying to becoming a homo sapiens without evolution. It's just ridiculous to think we can use future technologies that aren't even close to ready yet without following the path of creative destruction (Google it)

Yes big oil has it.
kekikamiller 1 year ago
@kekikamiller ha! After the huge taxes and duties they pay, they barely have enough to cover the next round of exploration + research and development. Maybe it hasn't occurred to you, oil companies invest huge amounts of money into finding oil, finding replacements for oil, and pay so many taxes and costs that there is no chance in hell any government would give it up. Enjoy oil, it's here to stay. It's Mother Earth's gift to us so that we can keep developing and eventually get out of here.

If mother nature wanted this she wouldn't be sending us warning signs. Imo we won't have a choice. Don't forget all the $ going into advertising and pr, especially now.
kekikamiller 1 year ago
@kekikamiller There's no warning signs and I'm not into pseudo-Biblical or communist propaganda. You're having the blinds pulled over your eyes by politicians who want to stay in power longer and tax you more - directly or indirectly. It's all an act called politics. Elitist entertainers like Redford are just helpful pawns for their political friends.

So in your world big oil makes no profit and there are no warning signs going on from nature. Interesting.
kekikamiller 1 year ago
@kekikamiller "Big oil" makes huge investments. Each profit is eaten away in future costs, taxes and investments. And so it continues. As for warning signs from nature, I'm not into religious, hippy or other forms of paranoid language. I'm into post-humanism, taking advantage of nature and science to become more than what we are. If you want to be a caveman scared of some organic natural substance, go ahead.

Caveman? Wth I am in support of ADVANCING technology and you are calling me a caveman. Plus what caveman is scared of natural substances? And how is an oil rig on fire natural and organic? Nothing you say makes sense.
kekikamiller 1 year ago
@kekikamiller You get called that for being paranoid delusion and going around using words like "Big Oil", as if adding the word big to something is going to make me jealous. Al it does is reveal your own sexual insecurities about size. If you are in favour of technological advancement you would not have been so ignorant as to assume we can't use oil. OIl is used for more than energy, it is used for the manufacture of many products. I'm not going to take an anti-plastic lunatic serious either.
aronswritingdeskyt 1 year ago
@aronswritingdeskyt Not to start an argument but to educate anyone reading this. As an environmental scientist I am anti-plastic (for unnecessary, non-medical plastic) because of the PACIFIC GYRE GARBAGE PATCH. Watch videos in Youtube and you'll agree.
UsweetLeilani 1 year ago
@UsweetLeilani I already know of it and it's just another example of environmental paranoia. Compared to the size and depth of the Pacific the garbage barely registers. That's a management issue if anything.
aronswritingdeskyt 1 year ago
@aronswritingdeskyt The statement that "compared to the size and depth of the Pacific [Ocean] the garbage barely registers" is true. However, the plastic is a permanent reminder to all of us and it grows bigger every day. It's also leaching chemicals into the ocean, harming aquatic life. The chunks of plastic end up in the belly of birds and fish who have swallowed them, mistaking it for food. This is an individual responsibility and a personal management issue, if anything.
UsweetLeilani 1 year ago
@UsweetLeilani True, just need better rubbish collection. But most of that comes from underdeveloped nations in the region where they don't have good refuse collection or recycling. If you want the situation to improve you have to support industrial development, democracy, peace and eradicate poverty. These require energy which at only oil and nuclear can supply enough of. Wind and solar will make these people poorer for a much longer time because the investment costs are very high.

If only President Obama were as liberal as the media talking heads say he is. He does throw the left a bone every so often but unfortunately, he's too centrist and corporate friendly to really make a difference for the environment.
Sadly the last best president we had supporting environmental causes was probably Richard Nixon. Even if he did so begrudgingly and for political purposes.
