What if petroleum abiogenesis could be demonstrated... that would make oil sustainable now, wouldn’t it?

Just pass a new law in 2031. Problem solved.

A nice, sustainable place where all can live as close neighbors, with a supply of food and health care that reduces obesity and geriatric problems, and access to work within walking distance?

And gate that says “Arbeit Macht Frei”.

Sounds like the CEO isn’t make the green that he expected to make. It’s going to take longer to become a multi-millionaire.

At some point it all has to roll up, even if hypothetically there was no apocalypse. The sun will burn out even if it was an all-solar energy economy.

Anyhow petroleum should actually be sustainable then.

There is no such thing as climate change free energy. Physics requires that all energy production affects climate change. There is no way around the physics. Solar panels cause less light reflection from the surface of the planet. Wind Turbines decrease the energy in the atmosphere. Nuclear power plants release massive amounts of water vapor.

The Middle Class should ditch the car right after the Upper Class ditches the airplane.

“The green-energy CEO says lawmakers should pass a $100-per-ton carbon tax on distributors of fossil fuels.”

I think Chevron & every other fuel company should simply refuse to sell their product in Vermont. Problem solved.

How much territory would need to be covered by solar facilities if Vermont actually did get 75% of its energy from that?

Of course solar towers burn birds and wind chops them up, but who’s keeping score.

I never do when Progs are describing the sustainable future they wish to inflict upon us.

In winter, the whole state could be one giant solar panel, and it wouldn't be enough.

How clever.

Purchase laws that force people to buy your product.

Why didn't I think of this?
