With Korea’s recent sickening oil spill affecting an animal reserve, makes me think oil should not be allowed to be transported. It kills our oceans! Do we really need to use oil at all? Now that we have solar, wind and ocean power as well as natural gas, why are we still burning oil and coal?

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t our responsibility to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong, Secretary General 1992 UN Earth Summit

“Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed.” – Pentti Linkola

We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects…. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land. —David Foreman, Earth First!

The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing….This is not to say that the rise of human civilization is insignificant, but there is no way of showing that it will be much help to the world in the long run.
—Economist editorial

We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity’s sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight.—David Foreman, Earth First!

Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.—Dave Forman, Founder of Earth First!

If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS. —Earth First! Newsletter

I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems.—John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal

Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.

If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.—Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund

We, in the green movement, aspire to a cultural model in which killing a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the sale of 6-year-old children to Asian brothels.—Carl Amery

now don’t start that again asked:


Please don’t bother with lengthy extrapolations about the Earth’s warming. It’s obvious and it will affect us greatly! The fact that Saturn, Jupiter and it’s moons, and mars are also warming is very telling. Also The Sun is researchable. The mainstream environmentalists,(and that means many of you) refuse to take these facts into consideration. I love music too, but allowing our lives to be affected by the power brokers, in futility, makes no sense.Trying to stop, or slow the Sun’s effects on the Earth is ludicrous. Why don’t people learn about it? I know why poloticians won’t acknowledge this. But why won’t you.
Samantha- This is a science issue not a environment issue. If you ask an environmentalist about Astronomy your going to get a politically motivated answer. Look I’m not saying it’s not a problem. If you understood what it takes for these glaciers to form then you would see that the damage is done! Is cleaning up the environment a good idea? Yes. Is causing a panic, and turning the world upside down to do it? No this is basically more of the same political manuevering to keep the people downtrodden. When the Greenland icesheet is gone(and your not going to stop that), and the glaciers in America are gone(they basically already are) the only thing that will bring them back is another ice age.Cooling the planet will not bring them back, without an iceage. But never fear the loss of the Greenland ice sheet is expected to do just that!
Another problem, and this is why it’s already too late. The permafrost is melting. Methane is being released from the ocean and lakes. Methane is a MUCH bigger problem than co2. Again it’s not going to refreeze without another major cooling incident.(ice age).

My great.. dishwasher use cold water, so it needs a lot of electric energy to heat it.

I would can directly use hot water from solar panels.

Would it be convenient?

Philip Augustus asked:


Has there been any experimenting with a power generating wind turbine,
that would be cylindrical?
Where you could have a big front opening. Then narrow down tube. then a turbine at the end.
What that create more power?

lanhill asked:


If your Utility company offered you “green power” at a premium, what percentage extra would you agree to pay on each bill? This money would support solar, wind, hydrogen, tidal and geothermal power generation.

bubbles asked:


how many blades does a wind turbine need? some have three others have four. What is best? Mine has four and is 3ft and homemade it runs from a permanent magnet dc motor is it best to have three blades or four for best output?
