From the beginning of preparedness in 2011 , American leaders recognized that the stakes were too high to permit the change over from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy to grow in an unfettered, laissez-faire manner. American manufacturers, for instance, could not be trusted to stop producing consumer goods and to start producing materiel for the change over.

To organize the slowdown of the economies Worldwide and to ensure that it produced the goods needed for the changeover , the federal government spawned an array of mobilization agencies which not only often purchased goods (or arranged their purchase) , but which in practice closely directed those goods’ manufacture and heavily influenced the operation of private companies and whole industries. On going talks with China and India were spawned with agreement’s to share all research working together was for the first time achieved.

Solution therefore required a rising fee on oil, gas and coal – a carbon fee collected from fossil fuel companies at the domestic mine or port of entry. All funds collected were distributed to the public on a per capita basis to allow lifestyle adjustments and spur clean energy innovations. As the fee increased, fossil fuels were phased out, replaced by carbon-free energy and efficiency. Farming practices Worldwide began to change and those that needed help got help. Did we all live happily ever after no but it was a start and America for the fist time began to lose weight.

One of the best kept secret’s of all time just maybe the last.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge….-

Just on the off chance he is correct we sure are seeing much ignorance made to seem like knowledge and just maybe we have passed a point where that doesn’t matter anymore the hate the illusion is now just the norm. A few are trying to get the knowledge out the real thing with not much success money talk’s and knowledge walk’s isn’t Capitalism fun. Just on the off chance the best minds we have are correct and now what we see with our own eye’s if we look are correct so far from the other few who tell us they are the best minds it’s the courage to do nothing well hate, greed, corruption from these Bozo’s is somehow made to seem ok. Again if we wish to survive it will take an enormous effort of mind and body and should be easy too see if we wish to try. Very sure part of that enormous effort will be for us active animal’s better known as human’s to slowdown. Hay do they have a refrigerator yet that think’s? I wonder does Oprah Winfrey or Gates, Buffett, Murdoch have one. If so what’s it thinking right now time for a ham sandwich or make a call to a cell phone and say;

Our amazing intelligence seems to have outstripped our instinct for survival. We plunder the earth hoping that accumulating material surplus will make up for the profound, unfathomable thing that we have lost. Arundhati Roy

If advanced spacefaring aliens exploit resources like humans we’d better hope they don’t find us anytime soon. Hawking

No more like time for lunch going back to work now have a wonderful day and don’t forget to kiss my you know what. Well that refrigerator needs to go back to the factory for some retraining no no no. Still a ruff draft this needs much more thinking and see if we can bring a smile to the clowns they look so sad. Oh and think of this as kind of a war.

And what this man wrote well goes far beyond that. The amount of pollution going into the atmosphere we don’t have 4 or 5 years if we wish to try survive we start now. It’s all just a big hoax not exactly there’s a hoax alright how are shares of BP or Exxon, Chevron, Massey? It’s about the share holders again not exactly it’s about a few share holders and it is sending us all down the drain in not such slow motion.

Oct. 9, 2010 (China Knowledge) – Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd, the largest listed gold miner in China, has been fined RMB 9.6 million for leaking acidic copper solution from one of its gold mines in Fujian Province into the Ting River in July, according to the company’s statement filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The incident has led to water pollution in the river and a direct economic loss of RMB 31.9 million.

The company was ordered to clean up the pollution and was assessed for the fine.

“The company decided not to make an application for an administrative reconsideration and not to initiate administrative litigation, and to comply with the punishment imposed,” Zijin said in the statement.

Zijin recently said that a tin mine in Guangdong Province owned by its unit Xinyi Zijin Mining Co Ltd has halted production after electricity and other services were cut off at the mine in the aftermath of Typhoon Fanapi. Based on a preliminary assessment, Xinyi Zijin will see direct economic losses caused by a disaster reach RMB 19 million.

A shares of Zijin went up 10% and closed at RMB 8 on Oct. 8, while the firm’s H shares surged 12.42% to HK$7.42. China Knowledge

I could keep witting for an hour

Note, I agree with his appraisal of the damage caused by extracting these carbon fuels and the use of nuclear energy. I also agree that many americans need to change their attitudes about energy use, but putting the onus to change on a people dominated by corporate ziofascism/fascism rather than the oligarchs dominating them is misplaced and rather useless. The people don’t have the power or the wherewithall as organised now.

Rather than restrict movement, it would be better to reduce the energy cost of such movement and the impact of the environment. Probably half of americans use massive gas guzzling vehicles for prestige or are stuck with rotting old clunkers because they are too poor to buy a newer, more ecologically friendly auto. We also need to build/rebuild the mass transit systems in the country. A lot of vehicle use is due to a lack of a reasonable alternative in most of the usa. Half of the petrol americans use is right there.

Another energy drain is the massive trucking industry. Much of what trucks carry used to be carried by rail. Going back to rail and getting rid of this bloated trucking is another way to help the environment, reduce energy usage and make the roads a lot safer.

Most american homes (and buildings in general) are extremely energy inefficient. Making them efficient would save an enormous amount of energy. And while we are at it, we can stop suburban sprawl and rebuild the dilapidated cities instead. Suburban sprawl probably causes more destruction to the natural environment than most industrial pollution does. It also greatly increases energy use as people have to travel further than they should have to for basic needs.

We can do all those things, and much more now, though it will require a revolution in how politics work in the usa and how the guv operates. Renewables are getting better and with increased R&D, they will eventually, or other ideas not yet practical, will replace most or maybe all the carbon fuel uses. It’s also possible better processing of these fuels may improve their environmental impact for the amount we still need to use in the near to middle future.

For these things to happen, though, the guv will have to stop being a gofer of the ziofascist/fascist oligarchy and become a tool and servant of the people, instead. Unfortunately, the author also ignored this aspect of the problem in his piece, as well, and this is the worst of the problems facing us, and by far, the most difficult to correct.
