No, you won't get a cookie, but not making an ass of yourself is its own
reward.
>>Question: How much a percentage of the U.S. gross annual income, should
the U.S. tithe to the United Nations, as they see fit? It's an idea that's
being circulated around by your pal GS, for a number of years.
Are random angry man quotes a regular part of your style? Where in left
field did this come from? How much of your mind do you waste on this kind of
anger?
>>Do we have enough time to replace the dirty power sources with solar, and
will solar work well enough to produce the wattage necessary, or do you feel
we should drastically cut back on consumption of electricity, to save the
Earth?
If we do not have enough time society will collapse; it has before. It Is
not a matter of what you feel or what I feel; both you and I happen to live
on a rock orbiting a star. The rock we live on has limits. It is the limits
of our physical reality that are going to dictate to us - whether we like it
or not; whether we "agree" or "disagree". regardless. the reality of
physical limits is already kicking in right now. For example if you follow
the capital expenditure (Capex) trends of the fossil fuel extraction
sectors, as I do and have been doing for years you will notice two trends.
Trend one the amount of fossil energy extracted per unit of capital is
rapidly decreasing; the oil & gas & coal sectors are sucking down larger and
larger portions of the total global Capex. and recently it looks like the
oil sector is slowing expenditures.
If you want to disbelieve in the reality of physical limits on our small
blue green dot then there is not much I can do to help you.

You need to power all civilization, once the leaders shut down all the
dirty power. What can we replace it with. What do we have we have ready to
go. The leaders all global Warming, so what can we do? They say its
imminent.
Who are these "leaders" you seem so worked up about? Is it the secret
illuminati council of thirteen. who are these sinister "leaders" who believe
global warming is imminent?
Do you realize how off the wall you sound?

It does. You cannot fake electricity. You cannot fake electric current. If
you are depending on solar power for 20% of your electricity supply, and the
rest for coal, because coal is reliable on a 7 x 24 basis, you can only rely
on solar for a slim fraction of electricity. You haven't solved the problem
in a technical manner, all one is doing is employing solar for a fraction of
total electricity consumption, to make ones self "feel" better. This is not
engineering, it is ideology- a faith movement to make one "feel" better,
without providing clean power to power one's civilization. How long must we
wait for miracle power sources, if the shadow of Climate Change is
overwhelming us all? It is politics and not health, and not engineering that
is driving this issue, right?
I don't see what you're saying here. Indeed, you appear to be contradicting
yourself. If solar provides 20% of your power, it provides 20% of your
power. There is nothing faith based about that, assuming it's a fact (e.g.
about 70% of New Zealand's power is provided by hydro, on average - that's
not faith, or a miracle, or a conspiracy, it's just a fact).
If solar can provide X% of your power, on average, then that means only
100-X% has to rely on fossil fuels. Hence you can reduce your fossil fuel
usage by that amount, and provide that much more of a distance between
civilisation and any future effects of pollution, climate change, and
resource depletion.
Sorry, what don't you understand here?
