Did anyone here the news on the Fox News today? We finally have an electric car that can meet speed limits as well as have over two days of power for intermediate travel!

Who will join me. Look at the energy it is wasting.

We really need to stop things like this. This is disguisting how much energy this home uses. Dirty politician – there is no altneratives associated with this home at all. I bet yall can’t guess whos it is….

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the South.

Great post! I definitely think we have the ability to save the planet while also not disrupting our economy and the future of the worlds growth.

We need to brainstorm in to determining ways to benefit society versus disrupt it.

I was actualling giving some thought to a windmill technology that can live at everyones individuals home to provide supplemental energy. Its obviously not economical in its current form but I believe it could be benefical for those willing to experiment.

I am tired of the protest – lets think positive – people won’t change until we make it economical as people need to pay their bills and put food on the table. If we think positively we can actually make a change in the next 30 years to make alternatives affordable ourselves.

Email me at starkbaddin@gmail.com if you have any interest in focusing on solutions versus diruptions and negativity. You seem like someone that would be great for my mission group as well.

We have the potential to destroy our Earth (as we are currently heading towards), but we also have the ability to save it. I’m sure that everyone would rather save it, so let’s address the issues and find a solution.

I think we could all bear a little humility in the face of what is coming down the pipeline, whether it’s good, bad (or more likely) both.

He worked on both the Manhattan Project and the early development of the US Nuclear Navy. One thing he emphasized was that most of the effort was expended by young people. They essentially built a huge infrastructure quickly and without detailed knowledge due to the newness of the technologies. I realize that these projects may be controversial today [especially on this blog ;-) ], but they are examples of young people leading the way on difficult technological challenges in the face of high uncertainty.
