CrossCuT Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I, too, wish the economy would quit hampering the spontaneous occurrence of solar panels and the batteries needed to store that power. Every year, wind farms and transmission lines are heartlessly destroyed by the economy after magically springing up. There are no consequences to producing batteries, solar panels, or wind generators. Just as hydro power from dams has no impact. There are so many amazing people coming up with new ideas to utilize these forms of energy...but our oil giants are doing their role to smash it all down. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hmm, I totally didnt catch the sarcasm. Its monday anyway,,,thats my excuse. But I dont want to hear about the consequences of alternative energy when the consequences of our dirty energy are basically going to kill us.

ImageTrinity Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 But I dont want to hear about the consequences of alternative energy when the consequences of our dirty energy are basically going to kill us. And that would be part of the problem... People have this misconception than anything alternative must automatically be superior. I'll have to ask my husband to find the study he read that showed that emissions from corn ethanol are far worse than from gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the thing with ethanol is that its not entirely that green when you consider processing. You still use tractors and ish that run on oil to harvest everything. In the end its not THAT much greener...besides it also consumes arable land that would otherwise be used for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more about the non-toxic means of producing batteries to store solar power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Asik Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I didn't say it had no legitimacy. I mocked the use of the word independent. I also mocked the idea of universities as independent. They're not independent. What "independent" really means is "Not funded by a privately owned corporation". It is a term applied to a study to lend it automatic legitimacy. It's meant to subdue skepticism. It appears it worked. So universities are not independent because they're funded by privately owned corporation now? I thought your argument on last page was that they were "massive beneficiaries of the state". Is it the state or is it privately owned corporations? And at this point after I've asked you numerous times, you've failed to substantiate your accusation that the use of the "independent" on my part implied any sort of blind faith, unwarranted sense of credibility or lack of skepticism, so your repeating that over and over doesn't make it true. Once again, I've explained clearly what I meant by the term. You're baselessly projecting misconceptions into my words and not making any coherent point.
