Geothermal Energy please. No Fracking Allowed.

@necox5 Nationalism is the hallmark of an idiot.

@putittogether Your a rude person, and this conversation is over. Learn to be a little more polite.

[putittogether]

@thesparitan Your lie that cost the poor and disadvantaged the most, take's their jobs, takes their money, etc, I will call you out, for what you are, a slut of the AGW religion.

@putittogether My name is not Jane and you are not worth my time. Continuous insults just for having a different opinion tells so much about what kind of person you are. So much hate, you must leave a little for yourself.

@thesparitan Jane you ignorant slut, the wind is NOT reliable. It does NOT pay for itself. It relies on tax dollars, and still it does not "pay for itself". Wake up, pull your head out of ManBearPig's ass, and read a book.

"The USA drew worldwide criticism for failing to adopt the greatest international agreement for the reduction of some greenhouse gases, The Kyoto Protocol, which has been accepted by nearly every other country. This is despite the fact that the USA is by a massive margin the world's biggest polluter and very disproportionately so."

This is not good PR is all I'm saying :/

[necox5]

Though you seem to have missed my first and chief point... We are all humans sharing this earth. And the point I was making is that America is behind the rest of us when it comes to eco friendliness. You and/or your country are not signing the agreements we draft to make this earth a better place. And you pollute a lot more than the rest of us. And that is a shame, and all Americans should work to fix that.

It's not a competition mate.

But it is a responsibility to manage shared space :)

@necox5 The stuff made in america is far more advanced and our country isnt even old. Look up what we made, id get a list but id fill up way to many comments and its all good

[necox5]

@fightttttt First, Sweden is spelled with one "e" and "Swedes" is the correct way to refer to us. "Sweets" are candy :) Second. Your personal education (or ability to google) fails you again. I'll give you ten fairly nice inventions made by Swedes. 1. The pacemaker 2. The three-point seat belt 3. Global Positioning System 4. Tetra-Pak 5. The telephone handset (+ many more improvements) 6. The flat screen monitor 7. Ultra sound 8. The safety match 9. Dynamite 10. The zipper :)

The only real problem with wind turbines is that they are bulky, and they don't store electricity. But other than that its a great technology and its good to see a school demonstrate how to be sustainable. We need more schools like that one.
