Where Stuff Comes From. (Why energy is life)
Doomberg ^ | 20 Oct 2021 | A nonymouse

Modern society is awash in stuff. There’s stuff at the grocery store. At the hardware store. At Amazon and eBay. We eat stuff, wear stuff, buy stuff, and store stuff. Click some buttons, swipe a card, tap a phone – and presto! Stuff appears, like magic.

At least for now.

We are a carbon-based species. Carbon forms the foundation of our bodies and the external world we experience. Almost everything we touch is carbon-based. As I type this, I’m sitting on a couch made predominantly from foamed polyurethane, my feet resting on a carpet made from synthetic nylon. I just sipped water from a bottle made of polyethylene terephthalate, which I then placed on a coffee table made of wood.

That probably explains why the democrat domestic enemies want to get rid of it. They are all about destruction.

"Organic Food" — that's what makes me laugh. I've yet to see any food which wasn't organic. Gasoline is organic. Many pesticides are organic. Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon based molecules and compounds. Almost everything we interact with is organic. LOL.

It’s just a way to get people to pay more money, thinking they are getting something special.

A cheap abundant supply of Energy will only lead to the yearning for More Freedom and Liberty for the Citizenry. How in the Hell does that help the Totalitarian cause of saving the planet?

It’s harvest time here in the Midwest and giant combines lumber across the fields collecting the grain and depositing it into large semi trucks to be transported to local elevators, rail heads or even barges. These as well as the tractors that plant the crops all run on diesel. The greenies and their jihad on all forms of carbon have yet explain how in this carbonless utopia how will we eat.
