Matt’s Blog of Truth

Ok, everyone knows the big topics are Global Warming and inventing ‘Green Technology’ to counter, Global Warming.

The situation looks dire. Yes, and it is dire. Humans burn so much coal, to power our cities, burn gasoline, to power transportation including aircraft and we are cutting down our Rain Forests.

The combo of all these things is quite literally, going to be deadly. Scientists say that within 100 years from now, Florida, London, New York and all coastal areas will be under the ocean, due to the North Polar and Greenland ice caps melt.

Now, as I sit here at my power hungry laptop, typing this, and watching TV, also contributing to the problem, kinda makes me feel guilty, that I am just contributing to the problem.

Well, I am not going to live under a rock and stop using electricity. In fact, electricity is not the culprit. It is the way we produce Electricity that is the problem.

You have may heard the term, ‘Clean Burning Coal Plants’, that produce electricity from coal burning. This term has no merrit and is completely false. There is no such thing as Clean Burning Coal Plants. It is simply not possible, or at least way too expensive to make the technology to make it happen, let alone if it would work at all. It is just the Coal companies trying to hold on to their PROFITS.

We can live the good life as humans, but we do so in such a gluttonous way, that it is going to seriously disrupt our, ‘comfortable lives’ as human being.

Here is a list of things that we COULD be doing, to stop all this bad stuff from happening. It is technology that exists today and is extirely possible to happen. It is almost unbelievable we are even debating about it, and why we just need to stop the debate and just build them.

1) Wind Farms (Clean free never ending power, requiring little maintainability to keep going)
2) Stop logging the Rain Forests (Bottom line, this needs to stop NOW)
3) Recycle like our lives depended on it.
4) All cars, buses and Trains to be 100% electric (No emissions, low maintenance, no toxic oil leaks)

If we just did these simple things, we could sustain our electric needs, and power your computers and TV’s guilt free. But, this is not going to happen as long as there are those that will not let go from the PROFITS of Coal Plants, Logging Rain Forests and Gas Powered Cars.

Obama is in. He is looked apon as our ‘great savior’, to most. To others, he is quite literally, ‘The Anti-Christ’, with these views shared with southern ‘rednecks’ and deep Christian Americans. Either way you look at it, the U.S. is in deep, deep s**t.

The situation, as posted in my previous blog post, explaining Why the US ecomony has failed, is now playing out deeping, as I watch C-SPAN.

Yes, I actually watch C-SPAN. How depressing the situation is. I live in Washington state, so my C-SPAN airs Washington State House debate. Debates about what to do with all of this influx of Federal Funding.

I can say, I am scared. Even some House Reps agree, the situation is dire, and frankly, scary. I am no politian. I am a programmer of computer code, and a Net Marketer. But, no matter how much I try to NOT venture in conversations that I ought not care about, I do. The problem this brings to me is nothing short of depression.

I am a connector of the bits and pieces of knowledge. I read and I remember what I read, and watch and hear and feel. I remember to a depth, that it burdens me to see, specifically, how all this money the U.S. is borrowing from China is now being distributed to all the US states.

Go ahead, you only have to watch for an hour or so to get a clear picture of the situation.

One conclusion is clear to me.

BIG GOVERNMENT is will be with Americans for a long time. It has to be there, because private sectors have squandered the Housing Market, which happens to be the largest market of them all.

Can the U.S. legislature, from House Representatives, Govenors, Mayors all the way down to city planners and your CEO and Boss make a difference? It appears to me that the system is so damn complex, it is near mind numbing. We all know how long it is taking the government to pass simple laws about the Internet about spam, as an example.

It took the CAN-SPAM Act, nearly 8 years to get to where it is. And where it is, is that it does not stop spam and in fact encourages it. OptOut ( not Optin ) anyone?

You know what? Forget it. I did not cause this mess. In fact, I have a mortgage and I pay taxes.

We may well all be screwed.

Or will China bear the burden? Maybe, the U.S. is just scaring China into lending the U.S. the 1 trillion+ because China imports and exports heavily to the United States.

The economy has seen bubble after bubble, recession after recession. But, this one is global and deeply felt. It’s ‘the big one’, as in a huge quake.

Have we learned our lesson? Probably not.
