Plan B 3.0 – Saving Our Civilization

Plan B3

You visit a pond and on the first day you notice that in the pond is a single lily pad while the remainder of the pond remains open. When you visit the pond on the second day and you notice there are now two lily pads and on the proceeding days you notice that for [...]

Just how CLEAN is the Clean Coal Movement?

Typical Strip Mine Blasting

It has been estimated that there are approximately 400 years worth of coal to be harvested in the State of Wyoming alone. Our planet is already teetering on the brink of an ecological collapse with global warming being just the proverbial tip of the ice burg and our lives the Titanic that is about to crash and sink because of it.

What are Greenhouse Gases?

Many people do not consider water vapor as a true greenhouse gas although it is present in larger concentrations than any other. However, water vapor concentrations fluctuate widely from 33 – 60% as we would expect when you consider that water is constantly being recycled through the processes of evaporation and condensation of our planets weather systems.

Earth Day 2011

The business as usual mindset that permeates our societies worldwide is no longer a viable means of protecting our planet and all life on it and in it.

“Spillionaires”: Profiteering in the Wake of the BP Oil Spill

Some people profiteered from the spill by charging BP outrageous rates for cleanup. Others profited from BP claims money, handed out in arbitrary ways.

This is something that purely MUST begin now because the inconvenient truth also happens to be that if we do not there won’t be much of a future for our generations to come to live in.

Betrayal of the Public Trust – Part II

Deep Water Horizon

Have we not yet experienced enough death and suffering from the hands of the greedy oil industry who so obviously does not wish to keep their employees or our wild life not to mention the livelihoods of our citizens of the gulf safe?

Oil Spill 2011 – Had Enough Yet?

These GOP members of Congress quite obviously do not care about the well being or health of our coastal waters or the people who live and work there given their irresponsible promotions offered on behalf of these oil companies who offered their praises to Louisiana politicians for their efforts.

Betrayal of the Public Trust – Part I

SnakeOil Salesman

Technologies in Wind and Solar energies have been continually advancing and despite what you may have heard about their abilities to take over major percentages of provided power to our national grids at some far off period in time we could do this much sooner if only this political garbage that is being made to block our path by people like the Koch brothers were swept away.
