    Actually, I'd love to see the US get off of fossil fuels completely. They do harm the environment and makes things poisonous for humans.

    What I wish I could do is make a substance that could replace the fossil fuels and leave no pollution and is ten times more powerful and efficient than fossil fuels.

    Hydrogen for energy storage is the most likely candidate. But corporatism is addicted to pumping fuel right out of the ground.

    Conservation is the key. Here is a mental challenge. How does this thread, and another I posted in the science forum coincide?

    The unconscious drive to be wealthy as part of a survival instinct.

    Pretty close. More specifically. Money enables the Id, the unconscious, the animal mind in fulfillment of wants and desires. It allows immersion in the material world without spiritual accountability to self, family, and community. The Id, unable to reason, unconstrained by a disciplined Ego, will deceive the Ego into thinking short term fulfillment is survival, one day at a time.

    So you are close in that inverse aspect. Directly, the thread linked is about how neglect to controlling our Id will lead us, is leading us, to our extinction.

    The UN is setting the stage for global objection to American indulgence which is enabled through Empirical dominance over resource with violence, no matter who's resource it is. No matter the impact of that resource on vital elements.

    Yup, people literally can't survive without things. We don't have fur, claws, wings, etc. Anyone who thinks they can get people to stop liking material items is barking up the wrong tree.

    Sounds pretty good to me, too, if all of our money doesn't end up in the pockets of special interests.

    I would respect anyone who says that the carbon cap is based off of each individual person and not how much money you have to spend. In lieu of such things, it's always the poor who get shafted by environmentalist proposals.
