Not if you're reading the chart correctly; gold - and especially silver - are at the lowest (adjusted for inflation) that they've been in modern history.
I don't know where you got that info (Canada, perhaps?) but it's precisely because of fracking that we have now have such historically-cheap natural gas.
Compare the following two maps; they speak for themselves:
So all this expensive fracking - required, presumably, to extract cost-effective natural gas - is, in fact, not required?? The drillingfield services industry won't be glad to hear that but the E&P guys sure will...
The idealism of the young and/or dumb: the powers-that-be are hardly going to be lining up to allow every other small community the opportunity to become energy-independent. Have you not studied history? (That was a rhetorical question, btw.)
I have plastic handled tools that are well over 40 years old.
Those are very much the exception rather than the rule; wood stands up to hot/cold cycles and UV rays far better than plastic, is more comfortable to grip than plastic (especially in extreme temps) and doesn't off-gas a cocktail of cancer-causing and endocrine-disrupting vapors.
I'm white and I make fun of white trash and inbred Fundamentalists more than anyone. I also make fun of noveau riche (particularly Southerners) and their utter lack of any class whatsoever. Am I a "classist?" No, I'm a culturalist. And I bet yours sucks.
Sure, I like innovation but most television providers still deliver their content at 720p.
And even worse - far worse, IMHO - most so-called "720p displays" have resolutions of 1366Ã--768, thus eliminating pixel-for-pixel clarity unless you have a setting to disable "zoom" (yeah, I understand the industry's need for a vertical rez compatible with legacy standards...).
Your post is full of generalizations and blanket/redundant statements ("physics," blah blah blah). The physics cancels out on both sides of the equals sign, so-to-speak; the challenges relate to engineering and materials science.
I'd have said that time will tell if your arguments have merit - except as lighter and more rigid materials - among other things - continue to be developed, time is already showing us that your arguments are steadily ceasing to relevant.

That is not, nor has it ever been - nor will it ever be - an insult. Perhaps think before you type?
There was no known way to make their engines clean enough to pass the test while still making them reasonably efficient.
DEF.
...and anything else the government has that they can legally do that are in there powers?
"Legally?!" You're a funny guy.
If it were constantly sending full audio and video back to the mothership battery life would nose-dive.
Compressed audio, sent in bursts; you wouldn't notice shit.
The US fracking is mainly shale oil.
I don't know where you got that info (Canada, perhaps?) but it's precisely because of fracking that we have now have such historically-cheap natural gas.
Compare the following two maps; they speak for themselves:
shale gas and fracking water use. See any correlation?
...there is no solution which involves beating on white people.
That's a solution to a different problem: how to divide and conquer.
Soylent Power?
No shit, you condescending fuck?
Low blood sugar this morning? Hey, I'm trying to work with you here... ;)

That's a lonely strawman you've got there; can't we make the meme a little more believable? Maybe throw a flat Earth into the mix...
Ain't no "probably" about it, not when it isn't backed by anything other than wishful thinking and lack of understanding...
...is evaded
Correct sequence:
A) Learn the language.
B) Post in said language.
Hint: you've got the sequence backwards...
I assume this was said in jest as I seem to recall that they did all those things.
You're thinking too hard; it doesn't take a clear head to realize the figure isn't 14 terabytes... but it helps.
even the very first large scale attempt, Biosphere 2, was impressively successful.
So you don't actually know anything about Biosphere 2. Oops?
If so, you need to find a new job because you are wasting your life away in a car.
It often beats wasting it away under artificial lighting at a desk behind a screen.
...the left tends to not elect those people
You mean there are worse ones?!
...and during my 70 mile round trip commute there are no charging stations en route or nearby either end.
An EV won't meet my needs but it sounds like one would meet yours... unless you don't have A/C at home...??
Sounds pretty inefficient.
Yeah; the "whoosh" suggests an energy loss...

... especially when said "new standard" isn't even a multiple of a standard [undergoing rapid adoption] such as 4K.
