Universities should ban students from driving cars.

It is about time the rebubs get some back bone and start telling them like it is.

“then (COMPLETELY) stop using them today,”

any roundabout ways they are using them.

Nor should they use anything plastic, or otherwise synthetic, no make up, no hairstyling, never buy anything in a box, avoid walking on pavement (since it takes fossil fuels to run the equipment that made and poured the concrete, avoid all vehicles, run from blacktopped roads, never use any man-made piece of equipment.

Best hold you nose and run naked into the uninhabited forest, desert, jungle, mountain huddle up and quiver until the cougar or bear invites you to diner ...

Exactly. I thought this years ago. Schools want to charge huge fees to park on campus for 'enviornmental' reasons. WHY DON'T THEY JUST BAN THEM??

Good points all - I would add a few:

Give up your furniture. Turn off all electricity to your home and work. No solvents or lubricants - no aluminum or steel of any kind, no wood unless it is cut and milled by hand tools, and no mattress.

Scalise is correct. There is no future and much hardship without fossil fuels.

If they think whites are immoral, stop appropriating our cultures and all the things we invented.

No more burgers, french fries, pizzas, potato chips, soda, etc, all our cuisines from europe and america,

no more cars, electricity, clothing, medicines, computers, phones, stereos, anything plastic, plumbing, modern toilets, major appliances, air conditioning and hvac systems....

...sidewalks...oh wait they just walk in the middle of the road right now....

I was thinking this very thing last week when it was announced that Denzil Washington was going to be playing MacBeth in a new film. Nothing against Washington, he is a good actor; but, he is certainly not Scots, or even European or Danish. Cultural Appropriation!!!

“It is about time the rebubs get some back bone and start telling them like it is.”

Scalise has been to The Abyss and lived to tell. Maybe a few more Pubbies need to see how short and precious their ONE life is?

Sure would change things for the better for our side, I’ll bet!

“Fossil fuels” have nothing to do with fossils. Petroleum is also made by abiotic methods, one of which is thermal depolymerization, a depolymerization process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons. This is a very high-quality light crude oil, easily refined into any of a wide range of fuels, lubricants, and plastics.

We can do this right here, right now, on an industrial scale, and not one bit of “fossil fuel” is involved. The process does require heat, and the use of pressure generated by steam, and a process time of varying length, anywhere from fifteen minutes to several hours, depending on the feedstock source.

You want heat? There is all kinds of heat generated through atomic fission, and a relatively safe atomic pile can be and has been constructed using Thorium-fueled Molten Salt reactors.

Practical engineering coupled with the technical knowledge already available will provide vast quantities of energy, the true source of wealth accumulation, to power a civilization, the dimensions and scope of which we today are only dimly aware of.

We will NEVER get there with the set of restrictions and artificial scarcities generated by this “Green New Deal”, which is a chimera and a phantom that cannot possibly deliver on the promises it makes.

Outstanding description. Only thing wrong with it is that nearly everything stated was discovered, created, and perfected by white men and women. Disqualifies every thing covered.

When I use to get into a discussion(?) about cutting back on carbon based generated electricity I would tell the whacko there was one way he or she could participate. I told them to go outside their house and pull the lever on the electric box down at say 5:00 PM on Saturday and then pull it back up on 5:00 PM on Sunday. They would have reduced usage by a little over 14%. Of course they would say no, somebody else has to do it.
