A Relevant Inspiration From an Estimable Senator

Posted: 5th September 2009 by admin in Uncategorized

First there was all this talk that there was no such thing as climate change. Now, many are trying to leap frog over solving it, with all this talk of “geo-engineering” it.  

Here’s a novel idea. Let’s stop using the stuff that predominantly causes it: Mainly coal (which is also otherwise very environmentally destructive). 

“Well, we can’t, we need coal, we need the energy, it’s like free money!  Its MOHNEY!!  “Coal is so very money. ”

Well, actually, yes we can:  Smarter fuel and energy sources that will themselves, both in the underlying energy that helps to drive it, and in their development and production itself, fuel our economy, and that will not pollute (like coal and oil), not compromise our national security by relying upon unfriendly regimes (like oil) and not radically alter our atmospheric chemical composition.

“But we can’t do that! We don’t have the Ability!!” 

Did we do nothing when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!  And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the going gets tough . . . the tough get going. Who’s with me? Let’s Go! Come on! AAAAEEEEEGGGHHHH!! …..[Returns]. What the blank happened to the America I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? ‘Ooh, we’re afraid to stop using coal, we might not have any coal produced energy if we stop using coal. We’ll be cold at night.  No goods will get produced. We don’t know any other ways or making energy, and we won’t figure any out, we’ll be so, so, coalless.  We’ll be coalless.’  Not America.  We are the leaders of the free world.  We’re not gonna take this. ” Oil, from the Middle East? Done.   Oil, from other regimes such as Russia, and Venezuala? Done.  Coal that destroys mountaintops, spews forth particulates, dioxides,and mercury into the air while radically altering heat trappin gas concentrations? Done. Silly policies that support coal and oil rather than help the market change, based on the belief that “progress” is only defined by what we did before and thus what we have come to expect, rather than what we can do, no matter how foolish in hindsight?   Done.”

-the Honorable Senator John Blutarsky.

  1. [...] We (somewhat poorly) satirized the “can not do” attitude on this issue, so counter to the American spirit, and so manipulated by those who are beholden to specific industries, specific ways of doing things, and who understand little about economics, and even less about the enviroment. Or who simply think, when it comes to the environment, that because it does not matter to them, it is not of legitimate valuable concern, and right, to others.  [...]

  2. [...] there is an entire sky full of clean energy from the sun and elsewhere waiting to be harnessed (but we can’t do that!), wrecking forest and natural habits to such degree that species are rapidly becoming extinct, and [...]

  3. [...] out of bicycle parts to power his family’s mud flat, but here in the U.S. we alternatively put our heads in the sand on rapidly increasing ambient greenhouse gas concentrations, or say &#8220…. [...]
