Silkweaver says: Let the sunshine in.... I wonder if this research take into account the fact that the energy demands of our civilization are about to grow almost exponentially. I wouldn't say "about to grow" but are indeed growing now. Indeed so. What I meant is that the growth itself will accelerate at least proportionally to the wealth achieved by our civilization. We just need more efficient solar technology like this one: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/F453EF5B-E83B-45D0-A7B5-777007189BF5/ And hopefully someone can get the cutting-edge fusion reactor to work: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/CDBEAE9E-9563-4E34-9117-3FFD74F812BF/ Google is investing in cutting-edge geothermal technology as well: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/7A1CCD17-536D-486E-B62B-5D8A8E62D210/ windmill power-plants can't solve the problem for dense dwelled districts and can only be build at wide open areas. Similar the energy-production by water and sun it's egional bordered. But all is better than these in the article criticized forms of energy-production! But the great Energy-Trusts don't already know how to make maximum profit out of them. So they found the "biogas". This is a nice source for small units, like farms etc. or village power-plant, where mainly used is the garbage of farming or timber. But if the poor countries grow corn or sugarcane for the biosprit of the rich ones instead food, the next starvation is marked. And over this, they deforest the last untouched place... It's pretty messed up that our ability to grow is proportionate to how much we fuck the planet up (and over). It cannot be too far off that growth as a value-in-itself will be devalued. If you look at all the “solutions” proposed for global warming — anywhere, all of them — what do they take as a given? They take as a given industrial capitalism. That’s the baseline. The baseline is not the real world, the physical world, which must be the baseline for all of our decisions because without a world, we don’t have anything. This may tell you, that indefinite grow is no way for a society! Why anybody needs a new cellphone every year? Or plastic-bags & -bottles for throw away? Every year other clothes and shoes? Nobody need this! But you are educated, that all other kind of living is false, poor, underdog. But now - it seems so - is the end reached! Short before the collaps of earth! Isn't nature perfect? PS: Please excuse me, if I write "you"! I do it so, because I can't say it otherwise in engl.! Not you personally is mean! |
