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.
