  • Industrial Progress nails it again. Great work Alex!

    There are a lot of people uploading videos of these people making fools of themselves. Most are highlighting that they are morons or that they are just plain ignorant of history.

    You however seem to be excellent at bringing out the fundamental ethical positions and attitudes of the protesters. The hatred of Steve Jobs and the hatred for man generally that have been expressed by protesters in your videos are very illuminating.

  • Great work, Alex. I guess there are some people who are already so brainwashed that it is not possible to discuss anything with them.

  • If the industrialized world is expected to just chuck it all in and go back to subsistence living....who the heck does this mime think is gonna clone all those poor endangered species? ;)

  • @marsbars090 The industrial age does not need to "taper off". They need to do what they are doing, which is find safer cleaner and more efficient ways to use those resources.

    Solar, wind and even hydro-electric power are dependent on weather. Weather is unpredictable. Hence the need for fossel fuels and nuclear power. As I mentioned in my previous post, fossel fuels ARE renewable.

    BTW, its very hard to read you posts with no punctuation.

  • Oil, coal and natural gas are not finite resourses. When will people get that through their heads? Do you think that the Earth produced all of it millions of years ago and then just stopped? These things come from decomposing animals and vegetation. The process is still happening as I type.

    Do you think that you could eat a can of beans and then fart all day for one day and then never fart again? I got news for you. Natural gas is the earth farting and it does it all the time.

  • it's time to move on to better ways of life cleaner smarter and less greedy ways we got everything we could from oil it's time to move on I know it is for America

  • the industrial age needs to taper off and let way to renewable age were we don't put all this toxin in the air and spill oil all over the oceans we would already have had huge leaps in renewable enegrys if people getting in the way of the bills that were to be passed years ago this topic wouldn't be a problem in a perfect world we used the oil and we now have trades with all sorts of bad people for this oil and you know what's at the heart of this problem... greeed
