In the new Obama administration we being told that we need to research alternative energy, the only problem that their really isn't any real alternatives that can replace oil, and yet, the Lord o High thinks there is and so there must be, even if the alternatives are ridiculous.
There is no such thing as being Green and fool that claims it has, has a few screws loose. Why I say this, is that not matter what you do to produce energy your going to need too used energy to produce it. The consequences of that is simple and maybe even a liberal/ Progressive can understand it.
Some estimates claim that it would take nearly 10 to 20 million acres of land to build all the solar and wind turbines to produce and replace the energy that we currently have coming from conventional sources!The cost escapades when you consider Thia amount of people to maintain it and to run it.
In essence from building the plants of even living near the locations to live, from there the very cost escapades again if you realized that if you build new communities that the plant supports. Stores of all kinds and then the suppose cost savings of Solar and Wind becomes Negotiable and non existence.
But there is a environmental problem in doing this. It looks like we couldn’t put solar power plants or Wind turbines in the Mojave Desert or anywhere else.
According to many environmentalists. A group called the Alliance for Responsible Energy Policy, discussing the plans for arrays in the desert, argues that this portends the "permanent destruction of hundreds of thousands of acres of pristine public lands . . .
Which would become wilderness killing.” Despite lip-service to human needs, protecting “pristine nature” is their goal, and “pristine nature” means nature undefiled by any human presence—even a footprint in the desert.
The real environmentalist is the ones that would kill off Human kind to better protect the wild life and environmental concerns.
Even so the energy needs of our country would be at the mercy of
the shifting winds and clouds of nature, and cannot provide the uninterrupted power that a stable electric grid requires.
Also, think about why Lowes and Home Depot sells electric generators and not solar or for that matter wind turbine kits? Neither solar or wind is not cost-effective for anyone involved.
All the Alternative energy solution's propose from corn to sea weed to Alger represent ineffective solutions to out real problem and that is radical environmentalist and also so-call progressives.
Solar, wind, and biofuels have gone nowhere without massive government subsidies. But because political leaders like President Obama have accepted man-made global warming they have ignored these facts and set out to a wish list these energy sources into existence.
The problem is none of these proposals will existence in our near future for a good hundred years. It took nearly a hundred years for our oil base economy to come in existence. Whether we start now or wait til the technology becomes viable is the question. And even if we do we have people working against it as we try to produce it.
The demonization of Oil companies will continue and someday the demonization will be shifted to the solar and wind energy companies. This has already happen and leading the charge is the Kennedy's willing to prevent Wind turbines from being place on Cap Cod, just because it will destroy their veiw of the ocean.
There is no satisfying the radical environmentalist unless their willing to kill off the human race?
