@kylestube try living in FL without AC in the buildings. Soon the whole state would be so full of mosquitos ppl would die of them!

Your videos are great! Thanks for spreading the message about oil and energy.

We are so slow to even notice this problem, this "alternative" to green energy should have being set in motion years ago. Were we blind to see the long term effects of fossil fuels. Right, everything is easier, so its not a problem now.

exactly.

hard to listen to, but perhaps (close to almost) it is the truth wether we like it or not. still, i like to have hope, no matter if it seems too naive.

Hmm, the cold may have affected your brain. The Northern latitudes will sucumb first due to short growing season, lack of heat for buildings (one freezing night and there goes the plumbing, followed by water damage ruin) and no energy to move snow: who will be keeping the roads open? Not enough time, money or materials to build the square miles of PV generation needed. Maybe if we had started 30 years ago...

free market is a misnomer....it's all controlled economy...

[Teratornis]

One hugely troubling sign: wind turbine manufacturers are currently laying off workers due to the credit crunch and economic downturn. This is a hugely troubling sign, proving once again that the laissez-faire free market may be great when things are hunky-dory, but when a real crisis arrives the free market sucks ass.

[Teratornis]

I think so too, but we'll probably have to trade in those meat-eating pets for grass-eating pets like rabbits and goats. How much petroleum do Americans currently burn to keep their cats and dogs alive? Plus if things really get tough, it's easier to eat a rabbit or a goat.

We could build enough wind power if we felt like it. The U.S. has a wind resource recoverable with current technology equal to about double our current primary energy consumption in all forms. During WWII, the U.S. stopped producing consumer goods, and instead built weapons, including 300,000 warplanes. Building a million large wind turbines is no harder. But we are too stupid to start soon enough with a wartime-like effort. So you're probably right that we are doomed.
