How many Earths do we need if the world's population lived like...
United States, 5.0 Earths
Australia, 4.1 Earths

<snip>

Ever notice that the higher the energy consumption,
the higher the standard of living?

You might have caught this on CNN a few years back:

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDw3ET3zqxk

Feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zph89X6FTKI

YT has "pulled" it several times since its release in 2013.

The links are good as of 8/2.

"Pandora's Promise" pointed out that global energy requirements grow at
about 3% per year, and "alternative" energy sources simply won't be able to keep up. If you want to give up fossil fuel, then the only alternative is nuclear power, and the leadership of the environmental movement will not support that.

"[B]y the end of the year (2013), more than 400,000 individual solar
projects will be operating across the country": http://www.seia.org/research-resources/solar-market-insight-2013-q3

Then you'd better get building: Since about 24 terawatts are consumed
globally each year (as of 2018), and demand grows by 3% a year, then 720
extra gigawatts will have to be produced each year and increased by 3% the
next year and so on until you'll be needing 5.4 more TW by 2024...

Energy efficiency in the US has gone up. Compare car petrol
consumption today to 1970. Energy prices drive innovation.

Rolling on the floor and laughing.
And once again pointing out where the greens are garbage
Solar is great during the day and fails somewhat at night or in the Arctic/Antarctic areas...

The same miles driven by an electric car will consume more energy
because transferring that energy into a batter and then back out and to mechanical energy is less efficient. Then there are weak batteries, and
the cold and other losses when using batteries to store energy.

Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those
you hate.

Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help
force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.

Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's illegally forced on American citizens. TWITTER'S censorship is enslaving Blacks.

Censorship of this document in whole or part, is an admission of your
belonging to a VIOLENT HATE GROUP.

But gas-guzzling SUVs and "monster" trucks still sell terrifically...

For once I can agree with Michael Moore.

Solar is just not a good substitute at this point.
Up-front costs are HIGH (and there's a lot of energy
and pollution involved).

Solar might eventually BECOME "good", but figure 20
years, not next week.
