Well that's a large part of the problem, isn't it? Alternative power sources that are most importantly the things you state?

From a producing electron flow as the primary means point of view, we are still using 1800s technology; steam. Imagine that, as technologically advanced as some think we are our main method to produce electricity relies on boiling water.

Until we can figure out a way that does it in a different way without the need for mechanical transformations its just substituting one inefficient method for non reliable methods.

Yeah and when you're 97 doctors say the science is settled as the pro-global warming scientist insist upon then you know for sure those 97 doctors are talking out their ass. No science is ever settled.

Your assumption there is no compassion contained in those with these infinite bank account owners reveals you have the same level of blinders as your hippies. Neither is your example compassionate. It cannot be as you are leading the reader to choose the option of taking by force what is not theirs under the name of misplaced altruism and attempted shaming.

There is no dilemma, the answer is simple; keep what I got and use it as I see fit; the hippies and you can kiss my ass.

Not really, not in the least bit should anyone be surprised. Some years ago when Zuckerburg was asked about facebook users data, his reply; they are fucking idiots to trust him.

Neither does the idea of relying on wind power.

Yep. Until someone figures out how to bypass some physics digital could not exist without analog.

Back in the day I always preferred troubleshooting, aligning and such things on analog systems. If only analog received the same level of research dollars, investments and all that, things would be very different. In my view, analog has always been superior to digital.

we all know your climate models have consistently been wrong and we all know climatologists are always looking for ways to justify why they should continue using something that has never produced accurate results. Much like a child consistently touching a hot stove, getting burnt and looking for anything other than the stove to blame. Idiots.

A blind spot in something designed by man.

That's normal.

I don't know that is actually true and have not seen any studies to support one being "more efficient" than the other. Even if paper were less efficient it is way more biodegradable than any plastic. As others have mentioned in this thread, plastic will degrade but not totally like paper. I just remember back when "tree huggers" seemed to be constantly in the news and were more than willing to support any solution so long as some owl had someplace to perch.

I do. Just go back to the last century like the 60s and 70s.

the wookie behind the curtain. I smell bullshit.

Really? Those three deserve hommage by Stuckey? Stack intentionally flies his plane into a building kill several. Heemeyer has fun with a bulldozer. And worst of all in some respects, McVeigh detonates a bomb killing a hundred plus people. If those are the types you admire as worthy of a memorial then you have one warped sense of admiration. None of those even come close to fitting the description of a patriot.

These mergers remind of that one Mythbusters episode they did to see what happens when two semi trucks with trailers collided at high speed with a car between them. The semi trucks are the two companies merging and the small car are the customers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
