Alaskan Village Sues Over Global Warming
hightower_40 writes to mention that a small Alaskan village has sued two dozen oil, power, and coal companies, blaming them for contributing to global warming. "Sea ice traditionally protected the community, whose economy is based in part on salmon fishing plus subsistence hunting of whale, seal, walrus, and caribou. But sea ice that forms later and melts sooner because of higher temperatures has left the community unprotected from fall and winter storm waves and surges that lash coastal areas."
they bouhgt into the lie that man contributes to global warming. it has happened naturally over millions of years. the defendants of this case don't contribute one iota to the problem.
In Soviet Halo, the game kills you (socially anyway)
If true, that is even worse than I had thought. The cleanest (and cheapest) power plants are nuclear. The problem with wind/solar power generation is the incredible amount of energy required to create the collectors, and the small amount of power they provide on a regular basis--That and you're screwed when its cloudy and windless...
Who the hell are these clowns? Their website doesn't even come up. Nice job, guess their website is as accurate as their pictures.
Everything I've seen about geo-thermal on a mass scale says that it is a pipe dream--we expend more energy doing it than we get back.
The only reason that people are so "NIMBY" about nuclear power is the constant negative propaganda coming from some/most environmentalist/disarmament organizations/movements.
