I'm all for solar power and anything else...But how do you know the model they are using NOW isn't "flawed". They were pretty damn sure about the Ice Age in the 1970's too.
Let me tell y'all a quick story about how concerned the world is...
I had a solar energy company out to my home. I have an acre of land right beside my house that is empty. I just fenced it in and let my dogs run it.
So I had seen that episode of Extreme Home Makeover where they installed one of those new solar power setups that follows the sun.
It's completely capable of powering everyones' homes
He came out measured everything...told me I live in a region that would work just fine and with my big empty field I could power my whole house AND sell power back to the power company.
The price? FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Folks, if the govts. around the world were serious about this...then why is it so expensive that it is completely out of reach for the average person?
I asked the guy the same question. He told me that the oil companies own the patents.
But still...We hear politicians talk all this bullshit about this is the "gravest danger facing civilization"
Do you think they really believe that?
And if they do, and they know there is a solution already available...then why don't they do something about that?
Why isn't every home and business in the U.S. solar powered right now?
I'll tell you why....because it's all bullshit and about the money baby!
And I don't have a problem with that at all...I just am shocked that people buy into the "global catastrophe" theories so easily.
Trust me...we're all being manipulated for money. That's the way the world works.
Back when we went into WWII the entire country was mobilized by the federal govt. Cars were NOT made and Detroit manufactured jeeps and tanks for the military instead. Rubber wasn't even allowed to be used for civilian purposes. And that was just to fight a war.
So no matter what kind of horseshit they try to feed us...just remember this: WWII was more of a priority than this "global catastrophe" Otherwise they would mandate the solar power.
Speaking of solar power...I read a report that said a grid of solar panels 100 square miles in the desert of New Mexico would generate enough electricity to power every home and business in the U.S. That way nobody would even have to buy individual solar units.
But yet....nothing is done.
But the icecaps are melting and it's the end of the world? I don't think so.
