Green Power

 Look, I have been reading the push back on green tech for some time, and I'll tell ya, you pro- oil/ anti- green folks sound pretty obtuse. Oil is a very finite resource. You bitch and complain about 4 bucks a gallon, but when someone says they'll fund developing technology that almost guarantees a return to cheap gas prices, you scream communism.
 I don't like Obama, I think everyone who reads this knows it. That being said, his energy policies are the start of what is necessary for us- we absolutely, positively need to migrate from industrial age/ archaic energy resources (such as oil and coal) to fully embrace nuclear, hydro electric, solar, and wind turbine energy production. We have the technology now to render much of the nuclear waste harmless, and if given proper attention, I am sure we could find a way to render it completely inert- if not find a way to recycle it.
 If you want to get down to brass tacks, if you want to complain about gas prices, but don't want to do anything about making gasoline cheaper, then feel free to shut your hole. That's like a fat person wailing about their weight while swimming in milkshakes- it is asinine to the point of lunacy, with a generous serving of self delusion thrown in.
 There was a recent Stanford study claiming people are getting less intelligent. Sometimes I wonder if this is not news. People against solar/ wind have the least sense in their arguments- it's not always sunny, or it's not always windy. Okay, couple of things- one: battery storage for these types of power generators is pretty common, because sometimes they produce more electricity than the grid needs. Two: We have a HUGE desert between the Pacific and the Rockies. You may not know this, but a good portion of that area is uninhabited. The areas that are could certainly use the industry. Oh, it is almost always sunny, and very windy, in these areas. Last point: Each and every one of us has the ability to not only be energy self sufficient in our homes- read: no need for electric companies- due to Solar, Wind, and Human Powered generators. If you knew how easy electricity is to generate, you already knew this.
 Stop being ignorant, and get yourself to be more pliant to changing your energy ways. It isn't because if you don't, the world will end in a global warming disaster, or because if you don't the world will be enslaved by big oil companies. It's because if you don't, the US will cease to be the hyper power it is, and will end up as yet another Roman Empire legacy power- like Great Britain, France, Spain, and the rest- to rise to super power and fall into subservience due to it's inflexibility.

 In short, being anti green energy is being anti American. Green energy is the first vital step in not only being completely self sufficient, but also in breaking the stranglehold Corporate America has on our political structure. If you can't see this, you're either naive or ignorant. Just saying.
