Reply #44: I'm not telling you to waste energy

Just that we have an endless supply of energy - not oil - energy. We just have to have the right mindset and find ways to work out solutions.

The big corporations and the oil guys aren't on our side, and will do what it takes to protect and increase their profit margin. They'll keep us tied to oil and pollution until they have something else that can be equally or more profitable.

We haven't always had an oil-based economy. Just think: once the world ran on whales!

To say there is a shortage of energy is ridiculous - as long as electrons keep moving about however they move, we have energy. We do have a lot of silly waste at this point in time and we do need to be more mindful of how we use our resources.

The thing that's really in short supply is unpolluted land, water, and air. If anyone wants to be concerned about "Peak" anything - it would have to be "Peak Environment."

We can always find another form of energy. It's not as easy to find another Earth.
