Survey Says To UK — Repeal Laws of Thermodynamics

mostxlnt writes "As we noted, the new Tory UK government has launched a website asking its subjects which laws they'd most like repealed. There are proposals up for repeal of the Laws of Thermodynamics: Second, Third, and all (discussion thread on this one closed by a moderator). One comment on the Third [now apparently deleted] elucidated: 'Without the Third Law of Thermodynamics, it would be possible to build machines that would last forever and provide an endless source of cheap energy. thus solving both potential crises in energy supply as well as solving the greenhouse gas problem in one step... simples... eh?'"

    And thus, clearly demonstrating, the general mindset and intellectual fortitude of those who wildly brandish the new Green technologies.

    It doesn't matter if carbon offset credits are a Ponzi scheme, that alternative fuels and their vehicles are more ecologically destructive than similarly purposed traditional ICE vehicles, that there are no large-scale deployment ready technologies to augment the power grid. As long as we're passing laws which have a Green statement or impose some draconian restrictions on the status quo, we're going in the right direction!

    Or, in this case, passing laws repealing the laws of physics. Awesome, just awesome.

    At this rate, I have little hope for the West surviving another generation. Either we'll move towards a totalitarian regime with the scientists and politicians dictating to the rest of us, or we'll just completely devolve into civil war (shortly before the anarchy, but possibly not before being overrun from the outside).

    In southern states of the USA, they are goiung to repeal the laws of geology, biology, and physics and make the universe only 6014 years old.
