keystone pipeline: pure evil

Post Reply New Topic

how are we all gonna heat and cook for all 7+ billion of us, when the easy oil runs out? when nuclear is adjudged to be too unsafe for continued widespread use? there isn't enough energy density in alternative energy sources to support our present population at its current rate of growth. the only things that will save us are either population control or some quantum leap in tech.

I remember when the reactors were built, I saw it on Black and White TV. Also the open surface tests of bombs in the southwest, with troops in trenches a few miles away.

Primates are crude, but those are the same designs built, and regulated to be the only designs. Cold War, National Security, No Bid Contracts.

The same thinking kept the Edsel Built Space Shuttle flying for longer than the Wright Brothers to commercial jet traffic.

This is what happens when government and industry try to control the future.

The result was their children sprouted hair all over, and the unregulated computer and phone market has been the only development. NASA still claims to own space, the whole Universe, and only people with special friends can build reactors.

Stepping back, the current situation seems to be the old industries making war on a much younger population, that has not learned how to bribe Congress, and any political party they form gets labeled, targeted, and Mediad.

The country belongs to the current generation, as does all the oil and gas in the ground, which produces an income of $50,000 per man woman and child, which someone else gets, because they bribe Congress.

They need the money to spy on you because you might be terrorists.

Turkish women are more man than Americans.

You get the government you deserve.

I really am not interested in the study of energies to ever become an expert on fossil fuels, natural gasses, neuclear energy, etc. I have aquantiances who are extremely interested in each scientific aspect of environmental damages versus preservations, etc. My "interest" is environmental preservation. That's is... I don't care about all the technicalities; I care about whether the end justifies the means: the KeystoneXL pipeline would cut through a massive amount of the continent. It would have a ripple effect on the land and air in many ways. Life has been sustained on Earth by the very design that makes it livable...as is. Man has made it this far without the Ksystone pipeline. It is obviously not necessary to survival. I am not calling outevery single oil pipeline in existence as harmful; I am of the position that it has become to excessive. Man is raping the land. They leveled mountains? Yes, there is an area where the did. It is done by stripping them down layer by layer. This has also been done in search of coal in West Virginia and is extremely controversial in that area. Now, I hope the above sentence doesn't render someone thinking I'm completely against all uses of coal either...i am not against all uses of oil either.

So just on the Keystone XL Pipeline.... is anyone else here against its construction besides myself?

Even if you don't care about the environment as long as you have eniugh oxygen and water to live a full lifetime, does the idea that the few can outway the desires of the majority bother you at all? I.E. I havea friend who lives in a town in California where 90% of the town is against a third highway being constructed, yet its goung to happen because the money (omg money! Yay! Lets all go party this wkend!!) is there.
