Well, I think if wind farms needed to pay the same costs and penalties as other systems I wonder what the ROI would be then? We could start with the $200,000 - $500,000 fine per bald eagle -- not to mention someone going to jail for the sheer amount of endangered birds destroyed.
... Oil companies are prosecuted when a bird drowns in a waste pit. But the Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind-energy company for similar protected bird deaths. An estimated 573,000 birds are killed by US wind farms each year.
Yes, but Gore Jr. is an example of the type of people using the threat of global warming to extort billions of dollars from scared and ignorant politicians. He's the same guy who's father was openly bribed by Armand Hammer with the blood money he laundered for the Soviets through access Al Gore Sr. provided. So bringing Gore Jr to the conversation only emphasizes that his industrial machine was founded on corruption, and continues to display those qualities in the carbon trading "industry".
Where were you when we were trying to get Shirley Chisholm elected? How can you even compare Obama? He's certainly not Black unless it's convenient. He is a rich elite by any standard, propped up by a plutocracy. Shirley didn't hide behind her skin at the start of every political fight.
But this will never happen as municipalities have given their ex-politicians stock in energy monopolies over America that do not want efficient or cheaper forms of energy to succeed.
Agreed. Over-fishing with mile long nets brings another issue to the table, too. Polluting the ocean is like taking meth and believing that you are the one person in history it won't kill.
Unfortunately, we still hear crap about tradition overriding common sense throughout most of the world. The supposedly sane Japanese would gladly drive whole species into extinction with their efforts.
Let's think this through one better -- Your child is born with a specific sequence the government determines is necessary to national defense. Mind powers, whatever. Baby disappears that day.
No one wants the reality you speak of, we've already implemented laws to prevent this. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. Furthermore The Americans with Disabilities Act extends to individuals with genetic disabilities. Additionally affirmative action applies to any organization receiving federal funding.
Viruses and many other things can mutate DNA, I don't see a downside in making a backup copy of yourself.
It would be fun to get my genetic profile and have it indicate that we are all African-Americans. Woot!
How does one accept responsibility when the only manner to that path in your scenario is to allow someone to kill you? That's insane. Also, I've floated through Oakland enough. Guardian Angel groups in Oakland, not to mention other community organizations, patrol just fine. Just because you want to imply some right to violence for thugs doesn't make it a moral, legal, or compelling argument. You shouldn't get to beat someone to death because their existence pissed you off. You shouldn't be a national icon your parent and others use to make money because the only picture they have of you is (apparently) five years ago. I reflect on all the Black people in my family and friends without once having to denote anyone that has needed to beat someone to death, to date. Why does this person warrant that special permission?
So the only assumption you project is that Zimmerman should have died to satisfy your prejudice. Somehow, I'm betting most people would not take your invitation.
Except history tends to indicate that free stuff doesn't create positive relationships, and warlords just come and steal anything valuable because modern civilization has no backbone.
I particularly like how municipalities now own the rain water that falls, fining people for collecting any water instead of paying their outrageous fees for water delivery.

Bravo! Apologies for no mod points.
Yes, which is why we have obviously not developed strategies to diversify our living arrangements beyond some freaking giant cat box called cities.

Study: Wind Farms Killed 67 Eagles in 5 Years
Don't see nuclear plants slaughtering animals on this scale.
Why wind farms kill eagles with federal impunity

Like there's not enough thorium sitting in trash piles outside every mine in America to power the entire country for a few millennium.
Pretty much. Exactly what did your sarcasm intend because it proved the AC's point?
"Imaging there's no Fracking". nuf said.

Agreed. I'd just be happy to fly to Titan and be a janitor on the space station there (to come).

If it's so obviously reasonable how come someone (like you) doesn't reasonable volunteer to reduce the population?
So a jury o his peers isn't good enough for your prejudice, but somehow an attacker attempting to kill someone has RIGHTS. About sums it up.
Even if they were Black, themselves. One-drop rule.

Agreed. But it might be safer to conduct research outside Earth's atmosphere, one would think.

I'll remember that the next time some fucking idiot named Gore touts consensus.
Really? You're using the Internet. Until you go back to can and twine, I call bullshit. We've out-paced all reduction goals. http://www.sustainablebusiness.com/index.cfm/go/news.display/id/23803
Because union thugs never hijacked the dues of thousands of members to pay off their political whores. Nevah.
He only takes tips!
