The stupidity of burning oil
Oil is a resource that has a vast range of uses, from plastics to pharmaceuticals. The more oil is burned, the less oil is available for creating high-end goods, the less the utility realized and the less the money gained.
Meanwhile there are any number of other... Obama rejects Keystone
Pipe of oil Laying a pipe filled with oil from the northern end to southern end of the USA is a bad idea on the premise. Aside from cutting through environmentally sensitive dunes in Nebraska, the pipe cuts... Venezuela, Oil Rich, Dirt Poor
With the United States still importing over 10 million barrels of oil per day of which about 10% comes directly from Venezuela it should come to no surprise that the United States is practically sanctioning Hugo Chavez's regime. Least we forget it was last Springs uprisings... the world we want vs the world they want
Imagine a grain of rice that grows a very productive plant but those seeds that are produced cannot be used to grow more rice plants. Imagine a fertilizer that when used produces a very high yield crop but at the same time: effectively sterilizes the soil killing all natural... the most difficult problem
The most difficult problem facing the world today is sharing Earth's dwindling resources.. There are several ways to look at this problem.. Imagine we're rats in a cage with limited food supply. There are a few distinct ways we can organize to allocate that limited food... Al Gore and Technological Progress
In his book "Earth in the Balance," Al Gore wrote that the people who weredenying the global warming in 1980s were going to be penitent later for whatthey had done.

No we are not talking about the Beverly Hillbillies but the new found riches in North Dakota. Oil that is! Texas T [Black Gold] as it was called during the oil boom of the 1920's and 1950's. With the advent of new and advanced technologies in drilling has made it...A Stark Reality
What devastation man has wrought unto this planet! The recent carnage in the Gulf of Mexico is only a prelude to a more destructive Armageddon type disaster that will occur if nations particularly the United States continue on their path of denial and apathy in regards to the... America's Greatness and the Future of America
For 18 years, between 1988 and 2006, I lived in America. I've been to places large, places small and places midsize. I've been to cities and countryside; suburbs and uninhabited areas; places ranging in their ideology from far left to far right. I've come to the... Energy, Nature and Man
The oil orientation makes the worst of all worlds. Nature is seen as only resources to burn with no sight for the future; man is seen as only there to burn nature with no sight for the future or respect for what made it possible for nature to exist. This results in the worst... Oil Addiction and Drug Addiction
Much has been written about the dangers of drug addiction and what it does to the brain. But there is another substance that does worse things to the brain of the addict. That substance is oil.
The oil addict, like the drug addict, likes to deny reality. Except... 'Advanced' Civilization: The Long Party is Over
"Our current way of life is unsustainable. We are the first species that will have to self-consciously impose limits on ourselves if we are to survive." -- Robert Jensen In 2010 we watched, aghast, as British... Japan, the unsinkable sinking giant.
By, Uwe Paschen. Since the triple disaster that hit Japan on March the eleventh 2011, the country has been thrown into limbo. No longer knowing which way to go. Even though this state of paralysis especially in our... Rome, Christianity, Energy and Armageddon
The conventional histories blame the decline and fall of Rome on “decadence,” which they use to mean personal and sexual freedom. This explanation is transparently wrong. Rome was conquered 200 years after it had been Christianized and the practices deemed “decadent”... Shipbreaking in Chittagong, Bangladesh
Chittagong, a city in southeastern Bangladesh, has – according to our guidebooks – nothing to offer. And indeed: it is a dirty, nasty, big, industrial city with millions of people, hard pressed by poverty and traffic congestions troughout the day. To get here from Dhaka,... NowPublic on Facebook
