No, There Is Really Nothing We Can Do

Governments around the world refuse to fund any other type of energy research. Some may fund solar power and what not, like our govt does, but the amount they give I could pull out of my ass if I wanted to.

 

Sucks, doesn't it? Have you ever noticed how how most people never look twards the future? They just seek how to make themselves richer with no regard whatsoever to the future.

 

Yes...I read parts of a great book on this subject not too long ago.....I forgot the name, but in it was "How Christian Fundementalists managed to ignore science (and other things) during George W. Bush's Presidency"......lol damn, I really forgot the name

 

Yes, when I read yours, I thought "I wonder if he got this from Derek", hence the reason I asked who it was you were talking with.

Oh, dear... what a Hipforums addict I am. You poor people.

 

Chuck, they may not be funding it now, but I'm pretty sure things will change when faced with a sense of urgency... do you guys HONESTLY, TRULY believe that when the oil runs out then that's it for civilisation? Do you honestly truly believe that governments around the world have a grand plan to go backwards? To destroy their economies, plunge their populations into plague and famine, destroy civilisation as we have come to know it, etc etc etc? Nah, sorry, this whole theory doesn't check out with me.

 

its not like a choice... 1000 years ago there were around a billion people i believe, and this was a pretty stable number. Since we've started using petroleum based fertilizers the population has skyrocketed. now what happens to food supply when these fertilizers no longer exist.

 

Soylent Green of course!

How about... non-petroleum based fertilisers?

 

I wonder what would happen if you shat and used it as fertilizer.

 

Bad idea. It has been done before, but with disasterous consequences. Human waste contains bacteria that can contaminate food supply and cause an untold number of people to become sick. Animal fertilizer (at least the kind that's commonly used) has no such harmful bacteria...or if they do, it's processed in such a way that it doesn't contaminate the food supply.

 

Well let's get out the processors then

 

wow, if i thought you had a brain i might be offended, but i always have felt sorry fer the mentally challenged.

 

I'm a pussy, now how 'bout that?

 

You mean this whole time I've been talking to a vagina!!! Wow, they're so interesting.

 

Um ::erases mental image:: I'm okay... wow... something smells rather gravyish... wonder what that is... aah yes, my mother must be cooking her noodles... how interesting.

 

hahaha.... so that's the slang you use, george? smells like "gravy" .... and yer ma's "cooking her noodles" eh?? who's noodles? hahahaha...

 

non-petroleum based fertilizers are about a tenth as efficient

 

Hahaha....

 

LMAO Eddie G, I told you you were witty

Well spooner I guess we'll have no choice but to go down the "less efficient" route then... at least we'll have something.

 

haha thanks purplesage

 

Wow... time is going by so quickly.
