Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has once again sounded the alarm on the environment, reportedly telling an audience in San Diego that all heavy industrial activity must be moved to space to save Earth.
Bezos appeared at the San Diego Air & Space Museum on Saturday to be inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame for his work on Blue Origin, the space flight company he founded in 2000. The Times of San Diego reported that Bezos addressed a crowd of about 600 invitees at the private event.
“I believe that, one day, Earth will be zoned residential and light industry. We’ll move all heavy industry into space. That’s the only way, really, to save this planet,” the world’s richest man reportedly told the crowd.
Bezos said that moving beyond Earth is the only way to sustain a civilization that consumes more and more resources.
“You want a dynamic civilization that continues to use more and more energy and more and more resources and build amazing things,” he reportedly said. “And to do that, you have to move out into the solar system.”
Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post, previously invoked the idea of a post-Earth civilization in May at an event for Blue Origin in Washington, DC.
“If we move out into the solar system, for all practical purposes, we have unlimited resources,” he said in May.

bezos has a space flight company? Who knew? His new girlfriend sure is awgly.
Space is part of nature too.
The ultimate goal of the string pullers in the eco world is communism and their control of the economy. This proposal makes no diff to those plans.
If anything, this’d only contribute to evidence that Bezos is just a useful idiot.
Bezos is an idiot.
The red herrings offered up by the super rich are getting more outrageous and elaborate.
While people dream of Star Trek it makes it easier to herd them into rabbit warrens and government butcher shops posing as medical clinics while being taxed into oblivion.
But Jeff, without gravity where will the smoke go for those smoke stack industries? And won’t it take a lot of energy to send heavy industries into space?
If Bezos is paying, then great idea. How expensive could this be?
“”Bezos is an idiot.”
I’ve never spent a penny on amazon. I don’t want to support him in any way. Somehow I get by just fine.
Getting the “heavy” part of industry into space is an issue.
But after it is, is it still heavy?
Bezos is an idiot, and like Elon Musk is a government-taxpayer miner - mining government treasury and government policy for money benefit to himself.
Of course he wants government policy to “move industry out into the solar system”. He wants it for the business it will bring to his companies!!!!

...
Almost 20 years and they still haven’t put anything into orbit.
It would certainly save space on Earth.
He thinks we have or will soon colonize other plants and moons to mine resources and manufacturing. The man is delusional.
<< “And to do that, you have to move out into the solar system.” >>
Imperialist colonialist hegemonist!
No. Solar-powered electric flying saucers will do the job very efficiently.
GMTA.
Bezos can’t even get his rocket off the ground.
He is better off selling books and cloths on the ground.
But Jeff, without gravity where will the smoke go for those smoke stack industries? And won’t it take a lot of energy to send heavy industries into space?

What effect will a million atmospheric reentries a day have on the environment?
We (the United States) do not have an environment problem.
There are places in the US that could be cleaner, but that is for the local governments to handle.
Attempts to change our culture and way of life in the name of a hoax is, well insane. There is no such thing as MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING (or Freezing depending on who you speak to).
Environmentalism has morphed into a religion. A very intolerant one at that.
