Green movement

I had been listening to the cries of liberals oops I think they prefer to be called progressives now, but to that I must quote Dr. Bones McCoy when he was being escorted to the bridge by Commander Date: Dr. McCoy - “… are you a Vulcan…?” Commander Data “No, sir, I am an android…” Dr. McCoy “…just as bad, just as bad…” With that said I am slightly puzzled

Why am I puzzled well Liberals oh there I go again Progressives, like to say no to drilling, no to nuclear power, no to Coal. They claim it will take ten years to get a drop of oil out of the ground or build new refineries. What is there solution research, focus on bio diesel, ethanol, solar, wind power. Those are all ok, except ethanol and bio-diesel. Not to mention the obvious problems with ethanol and bio-diesel, you need to use oil or coal to refine they corn into ethanol. A gallon of ethanol has a larger carbon foot print then a gallon of refined crude oil.

The Toyota Prius Hybrid, the icon of the radical Environmentalists and Hollywood elites, has a larger carbon foot print then a GMC Yukon. I am sure you might be wondering on how that is possible it has to do with the building of the Prius, and building of the Yukon. The Prius requires large battery which isn’t biodegradable or reusable. Unlike the Yukon that has a standard Delco battery (which is recyclable) over 85% of the Yukon can be reused for other things. The Prius only 60%, sure the Prius may use less gasoline but there is a hybrid Yukon now as well and you get more then 20 miles to the gallon.

Now to look at Ethanol, has caused food shortages around the world. Ethanol hurts the poor though out the world. The sharp raise in commodity prices for things like corn, soy bean, rice and wheat is just the tip of the iceberg. If we went to 100% ethanol the out cry from the poorest in the world would be deafening. Then again don’t most environmentalists also think there are too many people on the planet using its resources, yes they do. Because these are the same people who advocate the radical ZPG (UN Mission Organization; Zero Population Growth) agenda as well. The ZPGers believe the sick, the old should, non-intellectuals, all should be purged so that only they won’t use up resources.

That is the Green movement run by the UN ZPGers.
