Climate change deniers are like the birthers. No matter who says it is happening, they do not believe it. No matter who says Hawaii is part of the US, they are not buying it. No belief in science, though they use it every day. Just odd.
Fracking is causing earthquakes, Natural gas wells leak methane, 24 7, tar oil cannot be cleaned up, is toxic to humans and animals, coal dumps millions of gallons of sludge into rivers poisoning them. Who wants clean, renewable energy?
Solar
Hydro
Hemp
Tidal
Wind
Geothermal
How many natural sources do we need to stop us from digging up the bones of our ancestors? When will we get out of the graveyards of the dinosaurs?
Don't tell me it is to expensive.
We spend far more on war for oil than going entirely renewable would cost.
Job losses?
You can't outsource the jobs from green energy, they pretty much are done on site, and green energy creates more jobs than oil or coal could even dream of.
The only reason we are not into green energy is because a very few, very rich people do not want us to be free of the control that monopolistic power sources give to them.
Even green energy can be raised to be so expensive a person can't buy it, or so they say.
Unfortunately for oil and coal, you can make your own solar panels, your own windmills, and do it for thousands of dollars less.
Doing so not only improves our atmosphere, it also takes a little bit of the control away from the big corporations who have a monopoly on our power.
Having, for example, solar energy for your home helps spread the power around so it is not so vulnerable to power failures, whether it be intentional or storm driven.

Happy Easter and Happy 420

This year, Easter and 420 fell on the same day.
420 Fests abounded as this is the first 420 that marijuana was legal in years and years. Most of us cannot remember when no one was opposed to the use of Hemp.
Many learned in school about a few of the things hemp could make. Hardly anyone learned all of the things that can be made from hemp.
Now, we are worrying about researching the uses of hemp, much to the chagrin of multiple corporations.
Oil is especially upset with the reemergence of hemp as a natural resource, as virtually everything that can be made from oil, or any other fossil fuel, can be made better with much less environmental impact, and more economically than fossil fuels have ever been, or are capable of being.
Hemp doesn't need filters, doesn't destroy land, air or water resources. It doesn't leak methane, and every part of the plant can be used. Even the seeds are nutritious and delicious food.
While the medicinal qualities are well documented, and well known by many, there is a vested interest in keeping people uninformed and misinformed.
Unfortunately for this humble weed, vested interests have billions of dollars to buy or attempt to buy both political policies and public opinion.
Truly, in the case of hemp and it's cousin marijuana, the world has undergone an attempted mind wipe by the oil, coal, gas, pharmaceutical, plastics, textile and paper companies. These and many more are threatened by the hemp plant. Unfortunately for them, people are becoming more educated and realize at the very least hemp is a harmless product that could very well make a lot of money for a lot of people. Starting with the farmer, and is a much much cheaper and better product than is presently available.
Education will stop the inroads enemies of hemp have made into politics and the influence of money into our government.
Hopefully, the enlightenment of the American People will come soon enough to save the human race.If the huge corporations that stand against it wins, we will all lose.

Terrorists of the Earth

Terrorist have killed thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Terrorists are hunted down with drones, with wiretapping in any and all ways possible to make the world safer. So we are told.
Then there are terrorists that are holding countries hostage, we call them Congressmen we call them Legislators, they are not hunted but sometimes they are unelected. Other times they are paid, and paid very well, by taxpayers, the people of the countries they are terrorizing by their misguided zeal.
Then there are the worst, most deadly terrorists of all.
These are the terrorists that kill millions of people, that destroy our oceans, our air, our land our fresh water, our food.
These are the most insidious terrorist.
The worst terrorist get the worst punishment.
They make billions of dollars , trillions of dollars a year.
These are the terrorists we pay hostage to every single day. By every single person in every developed country on this planet we call earth.
These are the terrorists, despite the money, or rather because of the billions and trillions of dollars that are paid to them, that continue and escalate the attacks on our planet, our world, our home.
We pay them for power.
We pay them to destroy the very fabric of life.
Why?
We pay for these terrorists to ruin our planet because we are told and some really do believe, that they are not really the terrorists, that this is the only way to power our lifestyle, that things will be much worse if they were not destroying the planet.
This is an outright lie.
These terrorists lie and lie and lie, still we pay the blackmail that they demand.
There are other ways to deal with terrorists. 
We simply take the power of the dollar from them.
We do not need oil, tar sands, fracking, coal, gas - all the fossil fuels that are killing us all. These fuels, the energy produced from them is leading to the destruction of the human race. These terrorist will only be satisfied with the extinction of the human race. 
It is not that far off.
We have the knowledge, we have the technology, we can and, if humans are to survive, even in the short term, we have the desperate need to stop these terrorists.
They fight against us, they lie and say it cannot be done. 
But it can.
Easily.
With solar, with wind, with water, with the earth itself, we can and indeed, must stop these terrorists and destroy their power structure. 
Green energy can replace them and decentralize the constant threat of power outages
Wind, Sun, Water and Earth.
The four constants that are present on every continent must replace these terrorist, this destruction of our home.
One of the anti-terrorist components is the most frightening of all to the power terrorists.
That is the reason they have fought so hard to make it illegal.
That is why they will fight to keep it so.
One of the most powerful, amongst many powerful anti-terrorist weapons is a simple plant.
A plant that has been used for thousands of years. A plant many, if not most are at least a little bit familiar. Possibly they only know it because it has been declared an enemy by the terrorists, and thus made illegal for a hundred years.
It is a simple, humble plant. Most people call it a weed. 
Of course, the plant is Hemp.
Hemp is quickly and easily grown on nearly every continent on earth - leaving out antartica.
Hemp easily replaces the terrorists weapons, providing every product that can be produced by oil, gas, coal, all fossil fuel products.
And it does not depend upon the ancient bones of our predecessors of the earth to do so.
Solar, wind and wave also are important tools to fight the enemy, however hemp is quicker, and more deadly to the terrorists, providing in a season or two the energy that is demanded by the world. Hemp would make poor people wealthy, taking away the money that makes the earth terrorists powerful in our government and distributing that money to thousands instead of a few.
Millions, billions of people, ordinary people, not billionaires, not huge corporations, not companies that profits make countries envious, would benefit from this humble plant, this weed, some would call it a gift from God.
When will we stop them? When will we say no more and demand the policies change?
When will we, the people demand an end to the blackmailing, murdering, earth killing terrorists? Terrorist we do not have to support. Terrorists that do not hold all the cards.
Now is the time. Now is when we must act to change our policies, to replace those who desire through either their greed or ignorance or any other reason to destroy the human race, to drive us to extinction.
We must go green.
It is our salvation, and the terrorists downfall.
Now.

Pipeline - Pipedream

How does building a pipeline across some our most vulnerable areas in the USA, carrying some of the dirtiest oil, to the refineries and selling it on the global market to the highest bidder improve our energy independence?

How can there be any justification of putting our watershed at risk to these companies whom have proven over and over they are irresponsible and incapable of safely providing oil on land or on the oceans?

Why would we even desire to stay with the 100+ year old energy system when we have so many alternatives?
Even Ex-Pres Bill Clinton will tell you, and HAS told you that just wind power from North Dakota would provide twenty-five percent of our nations energy needs. Why in the world would we want to destroy our world for the profit of a few gas compainies?
If you say this is a job creator, you could be right. It probably would create around 5,000 temporary jobs.
Maybe more with the security it would require to keep sabotuers at bay, and cleanup crews to try to contain the ineventable spills and leakage which will nevertheless pollute our groundwater. Leaving millions of people without clean water to drink, irrigate Your food crops, and water livestock that is also food.

In whose universe does this make sense?

In the same universe that improving our infrastructure, creating an energy grid to carry the vast untapped natural, renewable resources through out our nation to power the homes, businesses and vehicles that we all ready have the technology for?
Who is in favor of this destroying form of energy? Who will profit from it? Who wants the pipeline?
Who is trying to destroy our earth, home of all of us?
Anyone say Big Oil, Big Gas, Drill, baby Drill -- Spill, baby,Spill??
Who are your representatives voting for? Whom do they represent?
Not ME.
